Easy Hoecakes Aka Fried Cornbread and Johnnycakes Easy Hoecakes aka Fried Cornbread and Johnnycakes Hoe Cakes aka Cornmeal Pancakes are versatile little yellow miracles of crispy warm deliciousness! They can be served any time of day straight out of the skillet, but for breakfast, they ascend into the stratosphere with the addition of blackberry or maple syrup.

Add the flour, cornmeal, and sugar to a large bowl. Add the eggs and buttermilk to a smaller bowl and whisk well. 2. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients along with ¼ cup of vegetable oil and ½ cup of water. Mix well to combine all ingredients but don’t over mix. The batter will be thick. If you think it is too thick, add a bit more water, about 1 tablespoon at a time until it gets to the consistency you like. 3. Add ¼ cup of vegetable oil (I use peanut oil, but any kind will do) to a large skillet over medium heat. 4. When the oil is hot, add the batter using a large spoon or small ice-cream scoop. About two tablespoons of batter will make a hoecake about 3 inches across. 5. Cook the hoecake about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until each side is brown and the edges are crispy. Use a pancake turner or spatula to remove the hoecakes and drain them on a paper towel. 6. Hoecakes are best when served immediately. Notes I've called for vegetable oil in this recipe, but many southern cooks cook them in bacon grease. Hoecakes, like pancakes, should be served warm. To keep them warm while cooking the rest, place them on an oven-safe plate and keep them in an oven at 225 degrees F. I've seen a few recipes that call for self-rising cornmeal mix instead of self-rising cornmeal. I have tried it and while it works in a pinch, I don't think you get the corn flavor or crunch regular cornmeal provides. Hoecake batter can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge for two to three days. .

  • Festiwal Chlebów Świata, 21-23. Marca 2014 Roku
    FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA, 21-23. MARCA 2014 ROKU Stowarzyszenie Polskich Mediów, Warszawska Izba Turystyki wraz z Zespołem Szkół nr 11 im. Władysława Grabskiego w Warszawie realizuje projekt FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA 21 - 23 marca 2014 r. Celem tej inicjatywy jest promocja chleba, pokazania jego powszechności, ale i równocześnie różnorodności. Zaplanowaliśmy, że będzie się ona składała się z dwóch segmentów: pierwszy to prezentacja wypieków pieczywa według receptur kultywowanych w różnych częściach świata, drugi to ekspozycja producentów pieczywa oraz związanych z piekarnictwem produktów. Do udziału w żywej prezentacji chlebów świata zaprosiliśmy: Casa Artusi (Dom Ojca Kuchni Włoskiej) z prezentacją piady, producenci pity, macy oraz opłatka wigilijnego, Muzeum Żywego Piernika w Toruniu, Muzeum Rolnictwa w Ciechanowcu z wypiekiem chleba na zakwasie, przedstawiciele ambasad ze wszystkich kontynentów z pokazem własnej tradycji wypieku chleba. Dodatkowym atutem będzie prezentacja chleba astronautów wraz osobistym świadectwem Polskiego Kosmonauty Mirosława Hermaszewskiego. Nie zabraknie też pokazu rodzajów ziarna oraz mąki. Realizacją projektu będzie bezprecedensowa ekspozycja chlebów świata, pozwalająca poznać nie tylko dzieje chleba, ale też wszelkie jego odmiany występujące w różnych regionach świata. Taka prezentacja to podkreślenie uniwersalnego charakteru chleba jako pożywienia, który w znanej czy nieznanej nam dotychczas innej formie można znaleźć w każdym zakątku kuli ziemskiej zamieszkałym przez ludzi. Odkąd istnieje pismo, wzmiankowano na temat chleba, toteż, dodatkowo, jego kultowa i kulturowo – symboliczna wartość jest nie do przecenienia. Inauguracja FESTIWALU CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA planowana jest w piątek, w dniu 21 marca 2014 roku, pierwszym dniu wiosny a potrwa ona do niedzieli tj. do 23.03. 2014 r.. Uczniowie wówczas szukają pomysłów na nieodbywanie typowych zajęć lekcyjnych. My proponujemy bardzo celowe „vagari”- zapraszając uczniów wszystkich typów i poziomów szkoły z opiekunami do spotkania się na Festiwalu.

  • JOHNNYCAKES RECIPE Johnnycake Recipe: Prep Time 10 Mins Total
    JOHNNYCAKES RECIPE Johnnycakes are the New England equivalent of tortillas, as they are a cornmeal flat bread. The simplest recipes call for nothing but cornmeal, boiling water, and a little salt. The batter should be fairly thin so that when fried on a hot griddle, the batter is no more than a quarter of an inch thick. Johnnycake History: Johnnycakes, johnny cakes, jonnycake, ashcake, battercake, corn cake, cornpone, hoecake, hoe cake, journey cake, mush bread, pone, Shawnee cake, jonakin, and jonikin. These are all regional names for this cornmeal flatbread. The origin of the name johnnycakes (jonnycakes) is something of a mystery and probably has nothing to do with the name John. They were also called journey cakes because they could be carried on long trips in saddlebags and baked along the way. Some historians think that they were originally called Shawnee cakes and that the colonists slurred the words, pronouncing it as johnnycakes. Historians also think that “janiken,” an American Indian word meant “corn cake,” could possibly be the origin. The settlers of New England learned how to make johnnycakes from the local Pawtuxet Indians, who showed the starving Pilgrims how to grind and use corn for eating. When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620, most of their wheat brought from England had spoiled on the long voyage. It is said that Myles Standish (1584-1656), the military leader of the Plymouth Colony, discovered a cache of corn stored by the Indians. An Indian named Tisquantum (1585-1622), also known as Squanto, was helpful in the settlers’ survival during the winter of 1621.

  • Bukovina Cookbook, Volume I
    BUKOVINA COOKBOOK, VOLUME I Collected, assembled and produced by Michele Troup Breadcrumb coating: Zwetschkenknoedel 1 cup or more breadcrumbs. Make your own breadcrumbs by very lightly toast- ingslices of French bread and then processing them in a food processor. In the old days, they were wrapped in a kitchen towel and beaten into crumbs with a rolling pin. Do not make the crumbs too small. 1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar Melt butter in a skillet, add breadcrumbs and roast them at medium heat until they are golden brown. Take off heat, add sugar. Mix well. In Czernowitz we did NOT add cinnamon, what a heresy! Procedure: Bring slightly salted water to the boil in a large pot. Cut ball of dough in half. On a floured board, roll out each half to a thickness of 1/2 cm.With a pastry brush, brush one sheet of dough with the egg white. Place plum halves, cut side down on the dough, spacing them about 7cm. or 2.5" apart. Cover with the other sheet of dough. Using a glass of the right size, holding it upside down, cut dumplings from the two sheets of dough, enclosing a half plum in each dumpling. To prevent the dough from sticking to the glass, dip the glass rim into a bowl of flour before (plum dumplings) each cut. VERY IMPORTANT: With your fingertips press the edges of the dough While generally considered an Austrian dish of Czech origin, my mother's together, all around each dumpling. Czernowitz Knoedel far surpassed those I ate in Prague.
