2Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the water and milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flattening each ball slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the Johnny Cakes are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
