1

Combine 1 cup cornmeal and 0.5 teaspoons salt in a bowl.

2

Add 1.5 cups boiling water to the cornmeal mixture while stirring.

3

Add some butter to the mixture and stir until it forms a semi-thick batter.

4

Set the batter aside for 10 minutes.

5

Prepare sausage seasoning by finely chopping thyme, sage, and basil.

6

Mix the chopped herbs with pre-ground sausage meat, adding pepper and salt.

7

Use half of an old plastic water bottle as a funnel to stuff sausage casing with the sausage mixture.

8

Tie off one end of the sausage casing and attach the open end to the bottle.

9

Stuff the sausage casing with the meat mixture, twisting segments to create links.

10

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a decent amount of oil.

11

Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan for each Johnny cake, forming round pancakes.

12

Watch the Johnny cakes closely as they cook to prevent burning, flipping every few minutes until golden brown.

13

Plate the Johnny cakes and add butter and maple syrup on top.

14

Add the cooked sausages to the plate.
