HOECAKES (FRIED CORNBREAD)
My grandmother used to make these little cornbread cakes for us, and I love to make them for my grandchildren too. People outside Savannah know them as hoecakes, but we just call them fried cornbread. Whatever name you use, you can't go wrong with them-everyone loves them, and they're so easy. They're great as pancakes for breakfast with a little cane syrup drizzled over them, or alongside a mess of greens, or as an alternative to cornbread or biscuits with lunch or dinner. They have a nice crisp crust on the outside and a soft, sweet corn flavor inside.I like white cornmeal better than yellow for grits or cornbread, and for just about anything. To me, yellow cornmeal and yellow grits have a texture that's a little too grainy. The yellow also takes longer to cook-a lot of people don't know that.If you saved the flavorful frying grease from making fried chicken, you'll be glad you did when you add a spoonful to this batter.This recipe makes a small batch. Double or triple it if you need to feed a big family or a lot of friends. The batter will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk slowly. Mix in the egg, cutting into the yolk with the spoon's edge to help it mix in better. Add the water and fat or oil and stir well. The texture should be like thick soup, so you may need to add more water.
- I like to fry the cornbread cakes in my grandmother's castiron skillet or on a flat iron griddle, but any skillet or griddle will be fine. Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it well with the fat of your choice (butter is delicious, but it tends to burn unless you mix it with a little oil). Once the skillet is hot and the fat is sizzling, drop the batter from a 1⁄8-cup (2-tablespoon) measure into the skillet, in batches if necessary.
- Fry the cakes until the edges are bubbling and the centers are set, then flip with a spatula to fry them on the other side until they're done. Like with pancakes, you can't say how long it will take, but the second side always cooks faster than the first. If the cakes seem greasy, drain them on paper towels before serving hot.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Whisk the eggs and buttermilk in a medium bowl until beaten and combined. Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Add a splash of water or an extra splash of buttermilk if it feels too thick. Add 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. This is a thick batter.
- Melt equal parts (about 2 tablespoons each) butter and vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Working in batches, use an ice cream scoop to add small scoops (about 3 tablespoons each) of the batter to the skillet. Cook the hoecakes until bubbles start to appear in the face-up batter, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the hoecakes to the wire rack and keep in the oven until they are all finished. Wipe out the skillet in between batches and add more butter and oil before repeating with the remaining batter.
- Serve hot and fresh with butter and maple syrup if desired.

YELLOW CORNMEAL HOE CAKE
Hoe Cakes were the first simple forms of corn bread in the South. Simple corn meal mixed with water and salt and then baked. Originally, Native Americans cooked these on hot rocks in an open fire. They were commonly referred to as Ash Cakes. Later, settlers from Europe adopted the recipe, cooking the cakes on the blades of their hoes in the fireplace. Slaves baked theirs on a plank or the cotton hoe on hot embers. This is where they get the name "Hoe Cake". Serve Hoe Cakes as bread or as a side item with dinner or as breakfast with butter and syrup.

Steps:
- Put water on to boil. In a large cowl combine the cornmeal and salt. When the water boils, measure it in a metal or tempered-glass measuring cup and measure 2 full cups water. Pour the boiling water over the cornmeal and stir. The cornmeal will swell up, absorbing the water and making a very thick mash. Heat a very well oiled large skillet over medium high heat, re-oiling the pan after each batch. Scoop out about ¼ cup of hot mash and shape into a patty. Fry the cakes in hot oily skillet until brown & crispy on both sides.
