Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 Tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter plus more for the pan
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, water, and vegetable oil or melted butter and stir just until combined. The batter will be fairly thick.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1/4 cup of oil or melt some butter or bacon grease in it. When hot, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter at a time to make hoe cakes about 3 inches across.
- Cook the hoe cakes for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the edges are crispy and both sides are nicely browned. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup, other syrup flavors, or for dipping into soups, stews, or other dishes with gravies. Leftover batter will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
