These obtained their name because the first ones apparently were fried on the blade of a farmers hoe.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • *I have used buckwheat flour for these as well. If you decide to use buckwheat flour, you must add 1 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch to 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, homogenized or you can use half yogurt and half milk beaten together
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup bacon grease or vegetable oil
  • Oil or butter for frying
  • *I like to let the batter set awhile before actually frying the hoecakes.

Directions
  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Don't mix in the oil for frying though.
  3. Heat frying oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Drop the batter into the hot skillet.
  5. *I use a large cast iron skillet.
  6. Use about 2 Tablespoons of batter for each.
  7. Fry them until brown and crispy.
  8. Turn and brown on the other side.
  9. Remove with a slotted spatula or spoon and drain on paper towels.
  10. Mmmmmm... serve with whatever y'all want to.

I absolutely love these. Simple comfort food. Thank you.


These sound so yummy. I'll just bet it's the added flavour of bacon grease that makes these what they are. Thank you for sharing your recipe.


More Southern goodness - you're speaking my language. My tummy thanks you, too. =)


Ok....this would be a very ho-hum recipe without the bacon grease! Ha! I keep a cupful of bacon grease in my fridge at all times....just like my mother and her mother and...


Oh my gosh, I just recently had some hoecakes and they were great. Now that I have found your recipe I can make my own. Thanks so much.
