Yes, I do

My mother, who got it from her mother, who brought it here from Pennsylvania

JOHNNY CAKES
(Hoe Cakes, Skillet Cakes)

2 cups cornmeal
1 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. boiling water

Cream the cornmeal, salt and butter together. Add the milk and enough water to make a moist but firm batter.

Drop by large spoonfuls onto a hot greased griddle and flatten slightly. When brown, turn over and cook the other side.

The original pancake. Serve with hot maple syrup or with honey and butter, or just with butter.

(I like to give mine a smoother texture by substituting A.P. flour for some of the cornmeal. Try 1/2 cup less cornmeal, and add the same amount of flour.)
