Johnnycakes, What are johnnycakes, exactly? Do they originate in the North or the South? They resemble cornmeal pancakes and are fluffier than traditional hot water cornbread. They also taste great with Southern sorghum syrup, maple syrup, or cane syrup. They can also be served with beans or greens as a savory bread.

Consequently, the response to the question is complex. These cornmeal cakes have a strong connection to Native American meals and are typically associated with Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean, where they are sometimes eaten with sautéed salt fish. However, they are also common in the American South and all of New England. Although the name "johnnycake" is a mispronunciation, some people believe that these fried cornmeal "journey cakes" were originally called Shawnee cakes after the tribe in the Tennessee Valley because they could be packed to eat on lengthy voyages.
