I watched the program Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and they featured a diner that served Rhode Island Johnnycakes. They looked so good that I had to make them. I found 4 recipes on Zaar so I made a small serving of all four and this one was definitely the best. This is the one I will be using in the future. Thank you for posting.

Nearly perfect recipe, could just use a touch less baking powder. Aside from that, this is my new favourite breakfast!
