Introduction
	Hoecakes are a real southern delight. Their name it is said developed because the slaves would fry them on a cleaned hoe or shovel over an open fire. Served with a meal like bread or covered in butter and syrup, they are delicious.
Ingredients
	1 cup all_purpose_flour 1 cup cornmeal 2 eggs 1 tsp baking_soda 1 tsp baking_powder 1 Tbsp granulated_sugar 3/4 cup buttermilk 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon water 1/4 cup vegetable_oil 1 part corn oil and one part butter for frying, or for real artery clogging flavor, use some bacon grease!
Directions
Step: 1	Mix all ingredients except the oil / butter for frying together in a large bowl.
Step: 2	Heat the oil or butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
Step: 3	Drop the batter by tablespoons, into the hot skillet. Use about 2 tablespoons of batter per hoecake.
Step: 4	Fry each hoecake until brown and crisp, turn with a spatula, and then brown the other side. With a slotted spoon, remove each hoecake to drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Leftover batter will keep in refrigerator for up to 2 days
