	When my mother was young, her grandfather used to make her
something called Johnycakes. She descibes them to be similar to
cornbread, but made from cornmeal mush and when baked they rise
much the same way popovers do. They also had a 'shiney surface',
not unlike the tops of fudge brownies (probably suggesting suger
in the recipie).

	Her grandfather was a cook-from-memory type and never
wrote the recipie down. He was from Oxford, New York and we
suspect that the recipie is native to that area.

	Has anyone out there ever encountered anything like
these? If so, would you please mail me a copy of your recipie?
Even if you have something that only sounds 'close', mail it
along anyway as my mother isn't quite sure what she is looking
for.

Many thanks in advance,

edward
