Photo: Lace Hoecake Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain enriched white cornmeal, sifted
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Oil
Directions
Mix together the cornmeal, water, and salt, and allow mixture to sit for a few minutes. Spray a flat hoe skillet with a non-stick cooking spray and drizzle with oil, approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons. Heat skillet over medium heat. Pour about 3 (2-ounce) ladles full of the batter on the skillet. The batter will sizzle and have a lacy appearance. If the batter gets too thick add a bit of water. When the edges are slightly brown, place a wet glass plate over the hoecake. With a dishcloth, grab the handle of the pan, flip the pan and hoecake onto the plate. Slide the hoecake off the plate back in the pan to cook the other side, and cook until golden brown. Stir the batter and add oil to the pan before making your next hoecake.

Mixed as directed, but could never get it to work out quite right for me. I changed the temp, added a little more oil to the pant, and finally added an egg to keep the cornmeal together. It made them a little thicker than I was trying to make but they tasted okay.

I have looked for this recipe since my mother died. I have asked many cooks,thinking my mother only used cornmeal and water. I tried it, and it was just like "mother used to make". Thanks again Paula Deen for helping me share this with my family. So simple, but great!!

I never met a Paula Deen recipe I didn't like but these thin crispy hoecakes are to die for. Be sure you don't have the pan too hot like I did on my first cake. Get it right and they are perfect.
