Johnny Cakes Made Easy And Good

I have looked all over for this simple recipe that i love. Very few ingredients, and easy to follow!!

Steps

Whisk together cornmeal , salt and sugar.
Bring water to a boil and pour over the meal mixture , whisking to prevent lumps.
Let the batter rest 10 minutes.
Butter a large skillet or griddle and bring it to about 375 degrees , just to a sizzle.
Add enough milk to the batter to make it the consistency of mashed potatoes , and drop by spoonfuls to make cakes about 2 or 3 inches wide and several inches apart.
Let the cakes gently sizzle on the grill for about 6 minutes or as long as 11 minutes until you bring them to a deep golden brown on the bottom and slightly firm on the top , before turning them over.
Add some more butter to the griddle , and / or place a thin pat of butter on each cake , before turning them over and cooking for another 6 minutes until they are a deep golden brown color.
Serve with butter and and honey , or maple syrup.
