Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white corn meal

1/2 cup plain or self rising flour

1 Tablespoon sugar (I use Splenda)

1 tsp. salt

1 1/2 cups HOT water

1/2 cup buttermilk or milk

pinch of baking soda

2 Tablespoons bacon drippings, or

oil for frying

Note: No eggs in it.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine corn meal,

flour, sugar and salt. Add boiling water, stir to

combine and let mixture stand a few minutes. Put a

seasoned black iron frying pan over

medium high heat to heat. Add buttermilk or milk to

corn bread mixture, stir well. Add pinch of

baking soda. Stir it well. Mixture

should pour and be like pancake batter.

If it is too thick, add a little more liquid. Add 1 or

2 Tablespoons bacon drippings, or oil

for frying to the frying pan. As soon as

fat sizzles when a few drops of water are added to

it, pour 4 to 6 ounces of the batter in the pan. It

will sizzle when added. With a turning spatula, lift

the corn bread up a bit so that fat is under it good.

When edges of bread are slightly brown, turn it over, add

more fat and brown on that side.

Continue cooking until golden brown.

Stir batter and repeat process. Keep corn bread in a

warm place until served.

Shirley, I guess cooking over the fire has come a long ways, no more hoes!

Know these are good! I can smell them now. Sometimes I make cornbread without eggs. Different texture, but delicious!

Growing up these were on our table for lots of meals.. We ate this in place of white bread... My Mom was from the south... A bowl of black eyed peas or baby limas fresh out of the garden and these... I still love it! Simple and good!

These sound really interesting. I had to checkout the recipe as I'd never heard of a hoecake. Still not sure what a hoe is that you would put it over a fire. Makes me think of gardening equipment.
