Thank you for this recipe for hoecakes. My aunt would prepare the dough for my mom and her sister and they would cook it for us on Sunday morning for breakfast. However, my mom would fry it like a pancake. It was so good, all the kids would so excited when my aunt would send hoecake dough. Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to make it for my mom and introduce it to my children.

I can’t believe I found this recipe! My dad has been making this in our family for years. It is a must have with beans, chili, soup, or a vegetables only supper fresh from the garden in the summer time. He makes his in a cast iron skillet. He oils the pan, but sprinkles the edges and bottom with garlic salt. It is wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

My great grand mother used to make this for me in Florida. I absolutely loved it. It was the best especially with bean and rice.

I never liked cast iron bakeware either until I bought the new kind that you don’t have to fuss so much with. I bought a 12″ skillet with lid at Crackerbarrel and I love it! I follow the very short instructions on care and put it away and voila!, it is ready the next time I use it.

Well cast iron is the best for hoe cake and the taste is totally different, as is corn bread. my mother made us hoecakes when I was a kid and I am 77 years old and they had been around for a while. I make them once in a great while now. Or up until about 5 years ago when I lost my husband. He liked them, He was mexican and a very good cook himself. He was born and raised here in CA. an I was born and raised in South Carolina. He had never eaten thickened gravey with biscuts an I made them and he loved them. You bet good old southern cooking is soooooo good and my husbands mexican food was so good. (better than the mexican resturants serve) Well good eating folks. Joan

Hope this helps out people that are having a rust problem with cast iron. Brew a new batch of tea, wash the piece in the warm tea, rinse off with cool water. Then coat the entire piece with oil/lard… The tea bath will desolve the rust on any cast iron item….I found this little secret in an old cookbook. Stephanie in Ocala,Fl.
