Notes: These are Gordon Bell's favourites. Can also be baked in an 8x8 pan, and enjoyed hot in squares with maple syrup. These were often carried by pioneer travellers and known as "Johnny Cakes" (a corruption of "journey cake"). A childhood lunch for Alison in Edmonton - with Rogers Golden Syrup since there weren't any maple trees!
