The Hoe Cakes turned out very well both time I tried them. I used oil instead of melted lard, and I also used butter on the griddle which made them smell fantastic as they cooked. I served them to about 45 kids and school and most liked them. They are great with sausages on the side, and would also be suitable for sausage/egg and cheese muffins as they are less floppy than regular pancakes. Only mix one batch at a time though, as the batter tends to rise fast, and is then difficult to ladle out. You also need to be cautious flipping them, as the tops stay softer than regular pancakes. They're different, but interesing!

I really liked them, so did DH. I'll definately make these again.I didn't have quite enough cornmeal, so I increased the flour a little. It ended up being equal amounts. I also didn't have lard, and used olive oil instead. I thought it would be healthier anyway.
Makes a lot, leftovers toast up nicely.
Thanks for the recipe. Other Hoe cake recipes only call for cornmeal and water, this sounded so much better. More like cormeal pancakes.

I'm sorry, you must have a secret to this recipe, because when I follow it to the letter, my hoe cakes do not come out of the 1/4 cup measure, stick to my lightly greased griddle, and end up tasting like sand in buttermilk. I just had to throw it out it was so bad.
