I am from the deep, deep south(any further south and you would be kissing fish in the gulf of Mexico), and this hoecake recipe is as good as any I have ever come across. I have used the onions before but never the peppers and they made a delightful new addition. Excellent with field peas and collard greens.

Well, I messed this up and added some olive oil to the cornmeal mixture instead of the pan! Then I just sprayed the pan with cooking spray. Next time I will omit the oil and just spray the pan. Not a ton of flavor so serve it with something that does have flavor. I think it would be pretty good crumbled under a bean stew.
