Puftaloons are also known as johnnycakes, mentioned in the Australian folk song "Four Little Johnny Cakes", in which an itinerant sheep shearer describes the food at his riverside camp:
"With my little round flour-bag sitting on a stump, / My little tea-and-sugar bag looking nice and plump, A little fat cod-fish just off the hook, / And four little johnny-cakes, a credit to the cook".
