3.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4.Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of oil or bacon grease to the pan.
5.Once the skillet is hot, drop approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each hoecake onto the pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread the batter into a round shape.
6.Cook each hoecake for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the edges appear set and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
7.Transfer the cooked hoecakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, and repeat with the remaining batter.
8.Serve the hoecakes warm with your choice of toppings or as a side to your favorite Southern cuisine flavors.
