"These are though to be the original pancake. Serve them hot with maple syrup. They are also known as hoecakes. Serve hot with honey and butter."

Ingredients

• 2 cups stone ground cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Cream the cornmeal, salt, and butter together. Add the milk and enough water to make a moist but firm batter.

Drop by large spoonfuls onto a hot greased griddle, and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. When brown, turn and cook the other side.
