Hannah's hoe cakes (hard hearted)

1 amount

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Milk, or water
Salted cornmeal

Directions

Pour enough very hot (not boiling) milk or water on some salted cornmeal. Just enough to make it soupy, but not runny. Then, let it sit for an hour or longer. You can then put 2 or 3 teaspoons of this on a hot greased griddle or black iron frying pan. Pat it down smooth to make a cake about ½ inch thick. Lightly brown one side, then the other, and serve piping hot with beans, greens, or whatever you got.

You can also cook these on the blade of a hoe on an open fire. That's how they got their name.
