Hoe Cakes Like George Washington Ate | Early American Recipe

Hoe cakes are a humble Southern recipe with deep roots, and they are still one of those practical dishes that works beside beans, greens, fried chicken, barbecue, soup, or a country-style breakfast. They cook quickly in a hot skillet and give you that crisp edge and tender center that makes cornmeal bread so comforting. Aunt Sandy’s version can be served warm as a bread, a simple side dish, or the old-fashioned way with melted butter and honey. 📝 FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE: https://www.auntsandykitchen.com/reci... Serves: 10-12 servings Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking: 12 minutes Total Time: 22 minutes 🥘 INGREDIENTS: • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 1 cup yellow or white cornmeal • 3 teaspoons baking powder • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 large eggs • 1 1/4 cups whole milk • 1/2 cup bacon grease • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 👩‍🍳 DIRECTIONS: 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt until well combined. 2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the milk and stir to combine. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated. 4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. 5. Add the bacon grease and butter to the skillet, allowing them to melt and heat through. 6. Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup for each cake, pour the batter into the hot skillet. 7. Cook until the edges are crisp and the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. 8. Flip and cook the other side for about 3 to 5 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through. 9.
