Fried Cornbread - Southern Cornmeal Hoecakes

 



Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This recipe stems back to my great-great -great -great grandmother.


1 1/2 cups self raising flour

1 1/2 cups self raising cornmeal 2 Tablespoon Sugar 3 Large Eggs 1/4 cup Melted butter 1 Cup Buttermilk or whole milk 2/3 Cup Water Choice of Oil In a large bowl, put in all the dry ingredients, in a medium size bowl, beat the eggs, add the buttermilk, butter & water until combined. Wisk gently the wet mixture with the dry until combined. Heat oil over medium in a large non stick or cast iron skillet. Ladle in the batter sort of thin. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve with your choice of butter & syrup.
