When I saw the recipe at first, I thought of Johnny Cake made in the
Bahama Islands. It's generally served warm for breakfast with tea or
coffee and/or served with syrup, jam or honey.

There are many variations - some baked and some cooked on a griddle.

Ingredients:
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 cup sweet milk

Directions:

Sift together dry ingredients. Rub in a piece of butter Stir in egg
and milk; batter may be slightly lumpy. Turn into greased 8 by 8-inch
baking pan; bake about 1/2 hour at 375 F. or until inserted pick comes
out clean. (In pioneer days, they might stir in some dried berries
before baking.)
