HOECAKES (FRIED CORNBREAD)
My grandmother used to make these little cornbread cakes for us, and I love to make them for my grandchildren too. People outside Savannah know them as hoecakes, but we just call them fried cornbread. Whatever name you use, you can't go wrong with them-everyone loves them, and they're so easy. They're great as pancakes for breakfast with a little cane syrup drizzled over them, or alongside a mess of greens, or as an alternative to cornbread or biscuits with lunch or dinner. They have a nice crisp crust on the outside and a soft, sweet corn flavor inside.I like white cornmeal better than yellow for grits or cornbread, and for just about anything. To me, yellow cornmeal and yellow grits have a texture that's a little too grainy. The yellow also takes longer to cook-a lot of people don't know that.If you saved the flavorful frying grease from making fried chicken, you'll be glad you did when you add a spoonful to this batter.This recipe makes a small batch. Double or triple it if you need to feed a big family or a lot of friends. The batter will keep for a couple of days in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk slowly. Mix in the egg, cutting into the yolk with the spoon's edge to help it mix in better. Add the water and fat or oil and stir well. The texture should be like thick soup, so you may need to add more water.
- I like to fry the cornbread cakes in my grandmother's castiron skillet or on a flat iron griddle, but any skillet or griddle will be fine. Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it well with the fat of your choice (butter is delicious, but it tends to burn unless you mix it with a little oil). Once the skillet is hot and the fat is sizzling, drop the batter from a 1⁄8-cup (2-tablespoon) measure into the skillet, in batches if necessary.
- Fry the cakes until the edges are bubbling and the centers are set, then flip with a spatula to fry them on the other side until they're done. Like with pancakes, you can't say how long it will take, but the second side always cooks faster than the first. If the cakes seem greasy, drain them on paper towels before serving hot.

FRIED CORNBREAD (AKA HOE CAKES)
I remember eating fried cornbread as a child. My mom would serve it with Pinto's or other types of dry beans. I think it depends on where you're from, but these are also called, "Hoe Cakes." Regardless of what you call them, they're absolutely wonderful. You can add butter or honey butter, serve them with beans, soup, or...

Steps:
- 1. Mix together flour, corn meal, and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add egg, oil and buttermilk. Mix with fork until all ingredients are moistened. Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter, so you may need to add a little more milk.
- 2. Heat oil in heavy skillet (I use cast iron). When oil is hot, add a little less than 1/4 cup of batter to the hot oil. Fry on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. When golden brown, turn and cook other side until golden. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Serve with butter, honey butter or whatever you like.
