I think this makes a delicious side to almost any meal. These hoecakes were easy to whip up and cook on the griddle. They were light and delicious. I ate some with just butter and some with honey...both were yummy! The green onion was a nice touch. I think they would be really good with some green chiles also. Thanks for another great recipe, PaulaG. Made for Best of 2010 Cookbooks Tag Game. -
These tasted delicious. However, I had some difficulty flipping them because they were so fragile. I finally switched from my cast iron skillet to a nonstick pan, with better results. -
Delicious! We loved how it got a nice crispy outside, with a good flavor, and a light texture. I drizzled ours with honey just before serving. It made a great brunch with Recipe #310625. Thanks for sharing! -
Another tasty treat from Paula. Wow, were these good. I had never tried them before, so wasn't sure what to expect. A lovely light tasting pancake with an awesome flavor. These were incredible served plain with recipe #283235 and steamed rice. They really were excellent, they sopped up the tasty gravy beautifully, even my picky dh had two. Into my keeper box this goes, can't wait to try it with BBQ chicken and crispy pork. Thank you so much for sharing. Made for Pac 2010 :) -

What a fun recipe! I served them with sticky fingers and a tomato salad. We weren't quite sure how to serve them, so I topped mine with sour cream and more green onion, and for hubby I served drizzled with a bit of molasses instead. The best thing about this recipe is that you can serve a "bread" side with dinner that's made from scratch and is super quick. Thanks for posting Paula, made for PAC. Please see my rating system as I rate tougher than most.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
