Hoe Cakes

Sharing is caring!

Hoe cakes aka cornmeal pancakes are super light and fluffy with crisp edges. These make the perfect breakfast or dinner side!

These traditional hoe cakes are my favorite on Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee.  I wanted to add corn kernels but wanted to stick to the traditional recipe. Or at least what I believe is traditional. Serve these with coffee, butter, and syrup. They’re so good.

Why these hoe cakes are so good: 

• They taste like a mixture of pancakes and cornbread.
• Super easy to make, takes about 15 minutes from start to finish.
• They’re great with butter, syrup, or jelly.
• These can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
