I love johnny cake!!!

But our version is different to yours. It's more like a savoury cake
than a pancake.

And the version in the southern U.S. is baked more like a single layer of a layer cake.

Still derives from the African recipe. But I don't think the Africans had maize until they got to the U.S.

If you've actually had traditional "Jonny" (journey), cake, in New England, you could not in possibly compare it to a pancake. It's more line lumpy fried grits.
