What my mom called "johnnycake" was corneal batter with chopped onion in
it, fried in a skillet, sort of like a pancake. Basically the same as
cornbread, but the frying and the round thin shape did seem to make irt
a whole different kinda thing. Crispy. She would make them to go with
collard / turnip greens, black-eyed peas....yum.

Now, just to muddy the waters even more...Since you mentioned onions, that
also reminds me of hush puppies. They are deep fried but also have similar
ingredients. They seem to be primarily a southern dish (at least, in the
past).
