Gray's Grist Mill Thin Jonnycakes Recipe | Epicurious

Skip to main content

Time: About 30 minutes

Level: Beginner

This is the thin version of the Rhode Island staple that some still eat as an accompaniment to breakfast, lunch and dinner. These are wonderful plain with salt right off the griddle but can be gussied up however you like, although many Rhode Islanders cringe at the thought of a maple syrup glaze.

Recipe Synopsis: Mix the batter and fry on a well-greased griddle.
