Ingredients:

  • originally , native americans cooked these on hot rocks in an open fire. they were commonly referred to as ash cakes. later on, settlers from europe adopted the recipe, cooking the cakes on the blades of their hoes in the fireplace. this is where they get the name, hoe cakes .
  • this is a old (from early 1800s) pass-along recipe from va, which makes a thin hoe cake.
  • great served with honey or butter , but i remember it most during
  • garden veggies. sort of like a 'sop' bread

  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1/2 cup. plain flour
  • 1 tsp. salt

  3. Add the bacon drippings or butter, sugar and beaten egg. Combine thoroughly.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Stir this mixture into the cornmeal in two parts, alternating with enough milk to make a batter the consistency of corn syrup (you may need more than 3/4 cup milk).
