Good afternoon How are things there.
Most of us like a good stack of pancake.
Now what is the difference between jonny cake and pancake
Also we have flap jack and hot cakes.I did a little research on this.
See below

Johnny cakes are a type of unleavened cornbread. The cornmeal is mixed with hot water or milk, salt and often sugar. This forms a sloppy gruel, or porridge, substance, which is then fried and served warm. A pancake is a thin, flat, round cake prepared from a batter, and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan.
Information from google.

Johnny cakes are similar to what we call fried corn bread. We use plain yellow ground corn meal, hot water and salt, then fry little thin cakes in hot oil.

@amadeo Some like butter on them or onions cut up in them before you fry them.

Never heard of a Johnny Cake, although it is possible that I regularly make something similar with oat bran. Our pancakes are different to yours. I think that flapjack is different too, but I may be wrong about that!

I have had Johnny Cakes before. My Mom used to make them when I was a kid. I always thought they were pretty good but not quite as good as regular pancakes.

I thought they were the same thing, only with different names. Good to know the difference.

I always thought of Johnny cakes as cornmeal pancakes, but I guess they're even simpler than that. I remember reading about them in the Little House on the Prairie books.

Mom used to make both! Now I can't remember which one I liked more other than the fact that one was the meal and the other the dessert! :)

It sounds like a Johnny Cake is what I call a Corn Cake
