What is "hoecacke"?

Hoecake is a type of cornbread that is popular in Southern cuisine. It is made from a mixture of cornmeal, water, and salt, which is then shaped into a round cake and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Hoecakes are traditionally cooked over an open flame or on a cast iron skillet, which gives them a crispy and golden exterior and a soft and tender interior. They are often served as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and can be eaten plain or with a variety of toppings such as butter, honey, syrup, or jam. Hoecakes are a beloved staple of Southern cuisine and can be found in many restaurants and homes in the region.
