Ultra-Plush Johnny Cakes

• Johnny Cakes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions, optional
• Maple Glazed Chorizo
• 8 ounces chorizo, removed from casing
• 2/3 cup pure maple syrup

2. Pour your wet mix into your dry and stir until just combined. Do not over mix! Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal.
3. While cooking your Johnny cakes, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked about 5 minutes.
4. Add the maple syrup to the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for another 4-5 minutes or until reduced to the consistency you enjoy. For more of a sauce, simmer for a shorter period of time; for more of a coated meat, simmer for a longer period of time, stirring frequently to prevent over-caramelization or burning.rnrnServe immediately over warm Johnny cakes.
