Hoe Cakes Old Southern Recipes

Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This recipe stems back to my great-great grandmother. My father has made this recipe for years, and it is always requested from his grandchildren. A slice of hoe cake will warm your insides -- slathered with some homemade apple butter alongside of some butter beans, freshly sliced tomatoes and a good tall glass of sweet tea. I promise your family will love this truly Southern recipe!

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.

Simple. A good snack or breakfast dish. Serve with a dash of salt or cane or maple syrup. I had these as a child during my summers in Alabama.
