I generally don't follow recipes but this
dish doesn't really need one. It's called
Johnny Cakes and my German grandmother made
them with extra pie dough whenever she baked
a pie. They are a warm childhood memory and
I added them to my Christmas baking list
last year. I believe some readers will call
a cornmeal cake Johnny Cakes, but I'm not
sure.
Johnny Cakes
1 box refrigerated pie crusts (the kind
you unroll)
1/2 stick butter
white sugar
cinnamon to taste
Allow pastry to come to room temperature.
Unroll into individual circles. Spread with
butter. Sprinkle with sugar, then cinnamon.
Roll into logs and slice into approximately
1" pinwheels. Place pinwheels on foil lined
baking sheets.
Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes, checking
to be sure they don't get too brown.
These are fast and easy and people will
think they are a complicated pastry.
