Johnnycakes are fried just like pancakes.
 
Hushpuppys originally were made to "hush puppies" when fisherman would throw
fried bits of dough to quiet their dogs. Hence the term hush puppies.
 
Also, hush puppies are traditionally fried in oil that was used to cook fish
or seafood and in that is why they have their unique flavor. I love hush
puppies and wouldn't mine having a couple for dinner tonight.
