Fried Cornbread – Southern Cornmeal Hoecakes

ADVERTISEMENT

Consistency: The batter should be thick but pourable. Adjust the amount of buttermilk or dry ingredients to get the right consistency.
Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. If the oil is too cold, the hoecakes will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Even Cooking: Don’t overcrowd the skillet. Cook the hoecakes in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Variations:

Sweet Hoecakes: Add a tablespoon of sugar or honey to the batter for a slightly sweet version.
Cheesy Hoecakes: Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy twist.
Spicy Hoecakes: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapenos to the batter for a spicy kick.
Serving Suggestions:

Savory: Serve with collard greens, barbecue, or chili for a hearty meal.
Sweet: Top with butter and honey or maple syrup for a delicious breakfast or snack.
