Often called Johnnycakes, as well. Theoretically, you could cook them on your hoe, placed in a fire, while out in the field. Made with corn, of course, otherwise they are just pancakes. An even poorer version of daily bread than cornbread, which required a pan....
hmm... now I want to go cook some cornbread...
