Fried Cornbread Southern Cornmeal Hoecakes

A classic southern recipe, cornmeal hoecakes are little pan fried cornmeal medallions that are at home as breakfast, as much as they are as a side dish with a mess o’ greens, and just about anything else!

Ingredients:

2/3 cup cornmeal

1/3 cup self rising flour

1/3 cup low fat buttermilk

1 large egg

oil for frying (I used about 3 tbsps coconut oil, but you can use whatever you like)

Instructions:

Combine first 4 ingredients together in a bowl, mixing well.

Mixture should be very moist but not soupy.

Heat oil in skillet and drop by spoonfuls into oil. Cook til brown on one side and flip (it cooks kind of like a pancake) to brown on the other side.

Place on plate with paper towels and blot any excess oil.

Remember the first one seems to never come out right lol.

Enjoy!
