The Best Hoe Cakes Aka Fried Cornbread Or Cornbread Cakes Recipes

QUICK AND EASY HOECAKES RECIPE (FRIED CORNBREAD)

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.
