Baked Johnnycakes
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. These are great for breakfast...also after school snacks. Why not serve with homemade peanut butter and a good quality jam or apple butter? And, gluten free, as well!
2 cups water
1 cup instant polenta
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
butter
maple syrup
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In batter bowl, combine water, polenta, butter and salt. Microwave on high, uncovered, 4 minutes. Using a non-stick baking sheet or Silpat, dollop out 6 rounds of the polenta, shaping in rounds and making an indentation in the center but not all the way through. Bake 20-25 minutes. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup in the center.
