Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup cornmeal
- 1/3 cup self-rising flour
- 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- Cooking oil for frying (about 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, or your choice of oil)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, self-rising flour, low-fat buttermilk, and egg. Stir the ingredients together until well mixed. The batter should be very moist but not runny, similar to pancake batter.
- Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, use a spoon to drop portions of the batter into the skillet.
- Fry the hoecakes until they are golden brown on one side, then flip them over, like pancakes, to brown the other side.
- After cooking, place the hoecakes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
