fried cornbread

Easy old-fashioned, southern Hoe Cakes or fried cornbread are versatile little yellow miracles of crispy, warm corn cake deliciousness! Hoe cakes are considered a southern quick bread or flatbread and can be served any time of day straight out of the cast-iron skillet.

Quick and Easy Hoecakes Recipe (Fried Cornbread)

flour

cornmeal

eggs (beaten)

sugar

buttermilk

water

vegetable oil (divided)

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.

salt

oil oil

Mix meal, milk, egg and salt together.  Drop by spoonful into hot oil.  Brown on one side then turn and fry until golden brown on both sides.

Can I use almond milk and apple cider vinegar (mixed and set for 10 min) in place of the buttermilk?

I know this recipe is for southern FRIED cornbread, I'm not supposed to eat fried foods anymore. I have modified many of my fried recipies to baked recipies. Can you give me some tips on how to bake these hoecakes? Thanks

Hello Gm, I'm from the south of Savannah Georgia.
My mom used to make them all the time. Just I never set and watch what all she did. 
I'm a cook love cooking trying to start my own little cook book my self
 Hope to get meet u one day. Maybe I can catch up with you one day.

Reading about and making your recipes is like a trip back home to Mississippi where I grew up.  From there I moved to Kentucky where I was introduced to fried cornbread.  It is so good!  I worked at a small rural hospital in Appalachia and every Friday the food in the employee cafeteria was soup beans (pinto beans), fried potatoes, and fried cornbread.  We always looked forward to it.  Now that I live in Ohio, I've introduced my new husband to the delights of fried cornbread and he loves it.  Southern cooking is the best comfort food.

My best friend's mom always made "biscuit bread" instead of biscuits. Its like cornbread, made in a skillet but with flour instead of cornmeal. It was great! I remember eating her Lima beans and biscuit bread after band practice on several occasions!
