- Drop by heaping tablespoons (about 2-3 tablespoons per cake) into oil and fry until golden, flip until each side is golden about 3-4 minutes per side (depending on how hot your stove runs).
- Remove from pan onto paper towel lined plate to drain grease.
Notes
- To add the cheddar and bacon just stir into batter and follow directions.
- Make them smaller, they are meant to be eaten in smaller portions, not like large sized pancakes.
- They are normally made with buttermilk, but you can also add regular milk if you don't have any buttermilk.
- Also if you want to make your own buttermilk, you can make homemade by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 Tbs white vinegar or lemon juice.
- Add in other mix in's if you like, like stated above we like to add cheddar and bacon.
- Drizzle with all the syrup, hoe cakes are supposed to have syrup!
- Make sure you drain these well on paper towels before serving, like any fried food there will be residual grease leftover.
