I thought the traditional depression era Johnny cakes were just hot water, corn meal, and baking soda.

Excellent recipe. I made these with PAN sweet corn mix and they were really good. I've also done these using an apple pie spice mix and brown sugar. Very tasty.
I want to see #futurecanoe do this recipe.
Remember to keep your hoe cakes in check
looks SUPA! good
It’s actually not a hoe cake
How cakes don't have eggs or sugar or baking powder. That's the difference between them.

Black strap molasses.
'Nuff said.
My great aunt added corn and jalapeños. They were so good.
cooked these while camping for my girlfriend—they made a great breakfast

I'm an expat in Saudi Arabia. Grew up on these in Miami (grandparents were from GA). Haven't made them for ages. Had a strong craving for them. Did a search and found your video. About to make these babies now! 😂
Easy to do. My mom added 2 eggs and less meal. And they are called hoe cakes because…men and women chopping peanuts or cotton in the 18 & 1900s would make a fire at the end of the row and the hoe cake and sweet potatoes were baked in the coals on the blade of a clean field hoe made for chopping weeds… These hoes were almost 6 ft tall for a man with a blade 6×8 inches. Easily accommodating a cake. It would also be possible that foeld hands would carry a spider…a flatish cast iron pan which stood up on legs perhaps 1.5 inches long to sit in coals.

Late to the Party; These are dated back since Early Slavery, this came across the water and was thought to be poor people's food, but of course like usual, it's now a hit. WOW LOL Just like all other life long skills that came, not from an institution but from true skills passed down. This really raise my brows when someone says that something initially started in the 1700's – 2000's. My Ancestors made this cake and when I was a small child going to grade school, teachers would look down their nose when you ate this type of foods and consider you poor, but now their children, grand-children, and great grand children are now making content, money, and wealth from taking this and other things and staking their claims. Sound similar to the Black Gold. I give you praise for liking it and presenting it as content, but please give credit where credit is truly due. Thank you!
Can you use cooking oil in recipe instead of melted butter?
Supa !
Hoe Cakes (with Buttermilk pour into skillet) Hot water cornbread (with hot water and can mold to patties)
I am not going to give you a thumbs down, but you, historically, are dead wrong and so is the rest of the internet. As stated in your introduction, they were, and in the mountains, still are rather flat, but crispy. They were not, perhaps rarely, served as a stack like pancakes, imagine that on a march during the Civil War, or the trek along the Wilderness Trail??? Usually eaten like toast as the bread for a meal, dunked in an egg yoke, or dipped in bean juice, or such. Even as desert dribbled with a bit of precious molasses, or wild honey.
The light fluffy variety is a urban bastardization to make them into something the are not and were never were.
Sorry to single you out, but thought you might be the one to try out what something like out Great Grand Mothers actually made to feed their families. Better than corn meal flavored pancakes now shown on youtube. Experiment, if you dare!
Thank-you for listening to an old man!
Supa!
How much bacon grease would u add and do use it to replace something
Hoe cakes aren't Johnny Cakes. Hoe cakes are made with cornmeal, water and bacon grease. Stir the batter up and fry the batter
Vito Spatafore agrees totally. He loves them Johnny Cakes, with a dollop of butter and then syrup…
I appreciate you listing the full recipe with directions in the description box. Thanks for including tips and substitutions too. I just subscribed to your channel.
They are not easy to make
The bottom drawer of my refrigerator is filled with pint mason jars of Bacon drippins. That's a poor man's "Safe" in the South….lol. We have a old recipe of adding into the batter just before cast iron pan cooking, frozen chunks of cheddar cheese and pre-cooked sugar sweetened crispy bacon. Referred to as "Loaded Hoe cakes" or "Drunken Hoe cakes"
