hoe cake – a bread made with
cornmeal
Yes, I was raised in the south and I
do like hoecakes, although they have always been referred to as corn fritters in
my family. I truly believe that the term hoe cake was revived by Paula Deen,
who actually reminds me somewhat of my aunt Evelyn. I don’t think I had heard
it in years before her show started airing. Anyway – about the hoe cakes – they’re
very good when they’re hot with some butter spread on top, but lose a lot when
they cool down. They can be heated in the microwave but still won’t be quite as
good as they are right off the griddle.
Paula Deen reminds ME of my Aunt Louise !! LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't really like hoe cakes though ... I would prefer a chocolate chip pancake!! :)
I was also raised in the South (if Florida counts) but we referred to them as corn fritters. I've never heard of Hoe Cakes, but corn fritters are delicious!
ReplyDeleteI was raised in the midwest and I've never heard of the term, but I have heard of corn fritters. Yummy.
