Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup self-rising cornmeal
2 eggs (beaten)
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil (divided)

Steps:

  • Add the flour, cornmeal, and sugar to a large bowl. Add the eggs and buttermilk to a smaller bowl and whisk well.
  • Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients along with ¼ cup of vegetable oil and ½ cup of water. Mix well to combine all ingredients but don't over mix. The batter will be thick. If you think it is too thick, add a bit more water, about one tablespoon at a time, until it gets to the consistency you like.
  • Add ¼ cup of vegetable oil (I use peanut oil, but any kind will do) to a large skillet over medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the batter using a large spoon or small ice-cream scoop. About two tablespoons of batter will make a hoecake about 3 inches across.
  • Cook the hoe cake for one to two minutes on each side or until each side is brown and the edges are crispy. Use a pancake turner or spatula to remove them and drain them on a paper towel.
  • Serve immediately.

FRIED CORNBREAD (AKA HOE CAKES)



Fried Cornbread (AKA Hoe Cakes) image

I remember eating fried cornbread as a child. My mom would serve it with Pinto's or other types of dry beans. I think it depends on where you're from, but these are also called, "Hoe Cakes." Regardless of what you call them, they're absolutely wonderful. You can add butter or honey butter, serve them with beans, soup, or...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 c self-rising flour
1/2 c self-rising corn meal (not mix)
1 to 2 tsp sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp oil or melted bacon grease
3/4 to 1 c buttermilk (you may also use sweet milk)
oil for frying
HERE'S THE WAY THAT MY GRANNY TOLD ME...
a good-sized handfull of self-rsing flour and cornmeal
just enough sugar to taste like the sweet of the corn, but not to sweeten the bread
beat you up an egg
just a little bit of grease
a good teacup full of buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together flour, corn meal, and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add egg, oil and buttermilk. Mix with fork until all ingredients are moistened. Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter, so you may need to add a little more milk.
  • 2. Heat oil in heavy skillet (I use cast iron). When oil is hot, add a little less than 1/4 cup of batter to the hot oil. Fry on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. When golden brown, turn and cook other side until golden. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Serve with butter, honey butter or whatever you like.
