Ingredients
4
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- bacon drippings for the pan
Steps
- 1
Stir the salt and water into the meal until it is a soft batter.
- 2
Heat a skillet with a spoon of drippings.
- 3
Spread the batter thin, as you would a pancake.
- 4
Fry until the underside is spotted brown, then turn it.
- 5
Eat at once, with butter.
A hoe cake is not a project. If you are measuring with a cup you already have more equipment than the cake requires.
