Instructions:
1. Mix the Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, self-rising flour, buttermilk, and egg.
Mix well until all ingredients are combined. The mixture should be very moist but not soupy.
2. Heat the Oil:
In a skillet, heat about 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. You can adjust the amount of oil based on your preference.
3. Cook the Hoecakes:
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the cornmeal mixture into the skillet.
Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Flip the hoecakes and cook until the other side is browned as well.
4. Drain Excess Oil:
Once cooked, transfer the hoecakes to a plate lined with paper towels to blot any excess oil.
5. Serve:
Serve the fried cornbread warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
