hoe cakes ................. old southern recipe
(1 rating)
Cornmeal and water baked cakes was used throughout the early colonies. Corn was inexpensive and grown every where. In the south they were called Hoe Cakes because some times slaves working in the fields would cook them on the end of a hoe. We are fortunate to have a stove and a griddle to cook them on, and enjoy, this treat from the past. P.S. Good with maple syrup.
