Two ways to make Hoe Cakes

In modern terms the word "hoe" means something other than food. To our those from the south they are called Johnny cakes.  Basically its a form of Flat Bread. Two way to make this, the recipe or the cheaters. First off the the recipe:

• 1 cornmeal
• 2 Tbl all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• oil
• hot water

1. Combine the salt, flour, and cornmeal in a bowl. Add enough hot water to make a thick batter.
2. pour oil in a griddle, when the oil sizzles add half the batter
3. brown on one side then flip

The above is a very easy and filling recipe. Much like pancakes.  I make the "cheaters Version" all the time. its very easy.
Cheaters Hoe cakes:

• 1 tube of Biscuits (Cheap frozen or those from the cooler work great)
• oil

1. Heat a little oil (or butter) in a pan
2. roll out or smash each biscuit flat
3. Fry in the pan on medium heat until brown on both sides
4. serve warm

Easy  and good
