Yes, there is a receipe for Johnny cakes!. They are basically a cornmeal pan fried cake!.
People of color (aka,slaves, servants, farm worker) were not always given and many times could not afford some of the more expensive food items that it takes to make regular buttermilk pancakes!.
So of course, people of color are known for their ingenuiety, and came up with a substitue that took less desirable cheaper food items, and made it into something that no only was edible, but we very tasty as well!.
You already have a few recipes!. But, my family is from Texas and we do it a little bit different!. If you would like a really quick and easy recipe you can use the recipe that is on the side of any Jiffy box of Cornmeal muffin mix, and they turn out pretty well!.
Do, more research if you are interested in the origin of some of the other tasty popular sothern foods!. You may be surprised how they came to be!. Happy Eating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are two versions of Johnny cake, one from Rhode Island and one from Jamaica!. The RI version are fairly simple, white corn meal and boiling water to mae a mush!. Allow to cool, add a beaten egg, some sugar and salt and enough moo juice to make a thick pancake like batter!. Spoon onto a medium hot griddle and cook rathr slowly until brown!. Serve with lotsa butter!. The Jamaican variety is a very light, mild, sweet spice cake!. generally offered before and/or during a meal, not as a dessert!.
