How To Make hoe cakes

Step 1

Combine the cornmeal and flour, crack in the egg and add 1 tsp. oil.

Step 2

Slowly add the milk and stir to the consistency of a pancake batter. Heat a little (1-2T) oil over med. high heat in a frying pan.
Step 3

Using a 1/4 C. measuring cup, pour batter into the pan and cook 1-3 minutes per side, just like you would a pancake.
Step 4

Remove to a paper towel lined plate. You can place these on a cookie sheet and in the oven at 300 degrees to remain warm while cooking the remaining batter.
