Hoe Cakes Recipe 🌾🥞

Description:

Farm hands in the old days had a clever way of whipping up a quick and hearty lunch while toiling away in the fields. They’d repurpose their trusty hoes as impromptu griddles, heating them up over a fire before mixing together a simple batter to create what became known as hoe cakes – rustic, satisfying corn flatbreads. We’ve given this timeless recipe a modern twist, serving it with a drizzle of Real Maple Syrup and a side of Eggs over medium, elevating it to a breakfast favorite that will make traditional pancakes pale in comparison.
