Welcome to Gray’s Grist Mill’s new website!
We are very excited about our new site and hope it will make it easier for you to find our products and more information about Gray’s Grist Mill.
We have used the spelling “Johnnycake” many time on our website as the name for our authentic freshly ground RI Narragansett Flint Corn Johnnycake Meal but that is not the only why johnnycakes are spelled. We also have referred to it as jonnycakes, journey cakes, Johnny Cakes, jonny cakes, hoe cakes, corn meal pancakes, corn cakes, ash cakes, spider cakes, Shawnee cakes and joniken - the Indian word for cornmeal cakes. Read more about the spelling in “about our corn” section.
Along with more information about the mill and the history, we hope to include many new and historic recipes using our Johnnycake Meal.
Today with all the tomatoes flooding my garden, I am thinking about salsa and tortillas. I have been looking for a good recipe to make cornmeal tortillas. I think our cornmeal would work perfect – more from my test kitchen soon!
I would enjoy hearing from you. Any recipes you might have for our cornmeal or stories about our mill will be shared.
I am hoping we will make a little bit of our own Johnnycake history.
