Good morning, generous readers. Your help is always welcome and this morning I have four requests that haven’t turned up thus far: a chocolate meringue pie with a chocolate custard that stays firm, never runny; cheddar cheese scones; where to purchase and how to cook fresh local trout; and potatoes scalloped in heavy cream.

Crystal Rymer of Cleveland, Tenn., offered some general, then specific, ideas for making cornbread pancakes. First, to generalize: “Basically you can take any cornbread batter and cook it on a griddle or in a fry pan as if it were pancake batter. Sometimes you just don’t have the 45 minutes to make a proper pone of cornbread, so corn cakes do nicely then. The following recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law.” And here come the specifics.
