Makes 8 johnny breads
Ingredients
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ cup (120 grams) whole milk 1 large egg (50 grams), room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) vegetable oil Honey, jam, and butter, to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Gradually add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 4 to 5 times. Divide dough into 8 equal portions (68 grams each). Shape each portion into a ball, and gently flatten to ¾-inch thickness.
  4. In a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Place johnny bread in skillet; cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared pan.
  5. Bake until centers are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm with honey, jam, and butter. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
