I grew up making these with my Grandma 👵🏽 🖤 🇺🇸

I'm argentinian and I love knowing about this recipes, so much history and easy ingredients 🙌🏼

Great cakes and great history! Thank you both very much.

I love hoecakes cooked in bacon grease and topped with butter. The bacon grease is all-important. If I want it sweet, I'll pour maple syrup over it or spread buckwheat honey on top. But I mostly prefer them with bacon and eggs, where both the hoecakes and the eggs are cooked in the grease from the bacon. Heaven ❤

Wow, those look perfect! You have the best style, Millie! Everything you make always looks perfect. 💜

Great video! thank you for all the historical details!

Oh my my my 😍 Take me back to my Granny’s house!!

Milly, I love your version of the hoe cake. I will be trying it. I usually make hot water cornbread . My kids I should say my grown adult children ate it when they were younger, I guess because they had to, as they got older they prefer my cornbread. Maybe me fixing it in this way when I serve it with a Collar greens for Christmas they will come back to it. Thanks again.

Mom used to make hoe cakes as a way to stretch the flour. Flour was harder to come by. She would use sometimes half and half. As the flour ran out the hose cake got more corn meal.

thank you for teaching me the history

I love this video concept and would love to see more!!

These look sooooo good!! Nostalgia overload! “When I get a man that’s his portion.” 🤣 I love it!!

Oh man. I haven't had these in probably 20 years. I should definitely make some.

What are the measurements on the dry ingredients? My mom (from the south) made these and I LOVED them! I haven't found a recipe quite like hers, and she didn't pass it down before she passed. I don't remember there being any sweetness at all, they were savory. And I think bacon grease was involved... 🤩😋🥰

Looks so good!!!

Love this!

Wow. As a northerner, I thought "I" invented these 20 years ago. I called them "cornbread pancakes". My family thought I was nuts. Who know?

Leveling? Is that leavening? Egg corn!

Every family has their own recipe. No one’s is better than the other. I don’t make sweet Jonny cakes and I don’t use eggs. I feel eggs make it more like cake, I replace the eggs with vegetable oil and I use 3/4 cornmeal 1/4 flour ratio sometimes, I also use powdered buttermilk or powdered milk and baking powder. I use the water ratio the buttermilk calls for but mine are much thicker and I don’t rest the batter, I want lift. I usually use animal fat as well. If I make a pot of beans, there has to be cornbread or these cakes. And this is also my cornbread recipe. I also will smash the cakes in a tall glass and top it with buttermilk or milk and eat it with a spoon.

came for MF DOOM, stayed for the hoe cakes

Told her it was hoe cake and she slapped me 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

Leveling???

Man I thought this was just a MF DOOM song

Levelling?? Is that American for leavening? Or is she just wrong? She says levelling (not leavening) quite distinctly, twice.

Hoe?!
