This Johnnycake is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. I sneak in grated zucchini or carrots, and they never even notice.

I've tried many Johnnycake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cornmeal gives it a great texture, and the honey and butter add just the right amount of sweetness.
