Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup self rising cornmeal use the white cornmeal
- 1/2 cup self rising flour
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/3 cup water or more if you need
- 2 tbsp bacon grease or you can use butter
- butter and oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix the cornmeal, flour, and sugar together. Slowly add in the buttermilk and egg.mix together the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk and egg slowly. Finally add in the water and bacon grease. The texture will be like a thicker style soup.
- After that, fry up the hoe cakes. Add butter and a little oil so it doesn't burn to a cast iron skillet then in batches add about 1/8 cup of batter to the skillet and flip when the edges are set and bubbled and browned. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Notes
I would make sure to add either oil or butter and oil to fry so the butter doesn't burn.
