Best Daddys Iron Skillet Hoe Cake Recipes
HOE CAKE
Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This recipe stems back to my great-great grandmother. My father has made this recipe for years, and it is always requested from his grandchildren. A slice of hoe cake will warm your insides -- slathered with some homemade apple butter alongside of some butter beans, freshly sliced tomatoes and a good tall glass of sweet tea. I promise your family will love this truly Southern recipe!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a well-seasoned cast iron skillet with the shortening, and place it in the oven as it heats.
- Whisk together the flour and milk in a bowl, to make a thick but still runny batter.
- Remove the hot greased skillet from the preheated oven, and quickly sprinkle a pinch of garlic salt over the bottom of the skillet. Immediately pour in the batter, and sprinkle the top with a pinch of garlic salt.
- Return the skillet to the oven, and bake in the preheated oven until the cake has risen and the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

HOE CAKES
This is an old civil war recipe that was found to be very good made from a hoe garden tool back then. Of course, if you don't have a garden hoe handy, a cast iron skillet should do.

Depending on the size of your griddle or lid, you can cook more than 1 cake at a time. Cook until brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately or transfer to a warm (200 degree F) oven until all of the cakes are done.

DADDY'S IRON SKILLET HOE CAKE
This is an old southern recipe my daddy use to make when we were kids. It's one big biscuit baked in an iron skillet. We would have this on a Saturday or Sunday morning, when daddy was off, served with syrup and butter. I remember we would mash up cold butter in the syrup and sop up the syrup with our slice of the hot Hoe Cake....
