ChanteyLass Lyr Req: Four Little Johnny Cakes (Banjo Paterson) (11) RE: Lyr Req: Four Little Johnny Cakes (Banjo Paterson) 14 Dec 19


It appears that the Australian recipe doesn't use cornmeal, but . . .

Correct about Rhode Island, Keberoxu. I'm a believer that we learned about jonnycakes from the Narragansett Indians. East of Narragansett Bay, most people make them with milk, while those of us in the West Bay make them with water. Since they are bland, I like to pour on some maple syrup regardless of which recipe I use.

There are several recipes here.

More information can be found with a Google search.

Annoying that both these sites stick the "h" into jonnycakes!
