Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 and ¼ cup self-rising cornmeal
- ¾ cup self-rising flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- ⅓ to ½ cup whole milk for the consistency you want the batter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil bacon grease or melted butter
- oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy nonstick griddle or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Whisk dry ingredients together in one bowl. Whisk wet ingredients together in another bowl.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula to combine until ingredients are just moistened. Don’t overmix.
- When the griddle is ready, pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle. Cook 1 to 3 minutes per side. (The Hoecake is ready to be turned over when it's dry around the edges and bubbles have formed over the top.)
- Remove to a platter. You can keep them warm in a 300° oven while you finish cooking. Serve warm or hot.
