TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING HOE CAKES:
- Make them smaller, they are meant to be eaten in smaller portions, not like large sized pancakes.
- They are normally made with buttermilk, but you can also add regular milk if you don’t have any buttermilk.
- Also if you want to make your own buttermilk, you can make homemade by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 Tbs white vinegar or lemon juice.
- Add in other mix in’s if you like, like stated above we like to add cheddar and bacon.
- Drizzle with all the syrup, hoe cakes are supposed to have syrup!
- Make sure you drain these well on paper towels before serving, like any fried food there will be residual grease leftover.
- Hoecakes can be served as a savory side dish, or serve them with a little maple syrup for a breakfast treat.
