🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while margarine can be more budget-friendly.

Start with 1 cup of Jiffy cornbread mix.

Combine the cornbread mix with pre-made pancake mix in a bowl.

Make sure to get all the lumps out of the cornbread mix by mashing them up.

Use a whisk to stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.

Spray a hot skillet with olive oil (instead of butter).

Pour the pancake batter into the skillet.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating it's time to flip.

Flip the pancake and check for a golden brown color.

Ensure the pancake is cooked through before removing it from the skillet.

Spray the pan again and repeat the process for additional Johnny Cakes.

For a variation, add toffee bits to the batter for a sweet twist.

Serve with syrup and butter.
