In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add buttermilk, water and eggs; mix well. Heat oil and butter in a cast iron skillet over medium to medium high and drop batter by 1\/8 cup measure into the hot skillet to form small medallions.<\/p>\n<p>Fry until brown and crisp, turn and brown the other side. Remove and let drain on rack. Serve immediately with warm syrup or honey butter for breakfast or as a snack, or dip \u2019em in a mess o\u2019 greens to sop up that pot likker (juice from the greens)!<\/p>\n<p>Variation: When corn is at peak and in-season, add about 1 cup of corn cut and scraped off the cob. You\u2019ll need about 1 large ear of corn. Can also make this into a pan hoecake. Add only enough buttermilk to make a stiff batter. You may not need the additional water. Pour into a screaming hot, well greased 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Reduce heat and let brown underneath about 10 \u2013 15 minutes. Run a metal egg turner underneath and turn to brown the other side. Can also bake in a well preheated 425 degree F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes (no turning needed).<\/p>\n<p>Tip: If you spray the measuring cup with a bit of non-stick spray before scooping, the batter will slip right out. If you don\u2019t happen to have that 1\/8 cup measure, just do about 2 tablespoons of batter in one pile and push it around to form a medallion.<\/p>\n<p>Jalapeno Cheese Fried Cornbread: Prepare as above, adding in 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese and 1\/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeno. Spoon batter into pan, topping with whole slices of pickled jalapeno. Let set and turn.<\/p>\n<p>Hot Water Cornbread: Omit the flour, eggs and buttermilk. Increase cornmeal to 2 cups, adding salt and baking powder. Sugar is optional. For the water, rapidly boil 2 cups of water and begin stirring into the dry mix, a little at a time until mixture gathers together. Depending on grain of cornmeal, you may not need all of the water. Using wet hands, scoop out enough of the cornmeal to form into a pone in the palm of your hand. Add to skillet of hot oil. Drain on paper towels.<\/p>\n<p>Source: http:\/\/deepsouthdish.com<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fried Cornbread Southern Cornmeal Hoecakes Ingredients: 1 cup self-rising flour 1 cup all-purpose cornmeal 2 teaspoons baking powder 1\/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar, optional 3\/4 cup buttermilk 1\/3 cup water 2 large eggs, beaten 1\/4 cup cooking oil or bacon drippings 1 tablespoon butter Instructions: Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and &#8230; <a title=\"Fried Cornbread Southern Cornmeal Hoecakes\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/?p=27005\" aria-label=\"Read more about Fried Cornbread Southern Cornmeal Hoecakes\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":27006,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27005"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27005\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27007,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27005\/revisions\/27007"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mrhealthyalternative.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
