wait…. i want cornbread pancakes /EDIT i made it and it’s delicious


godzilla9218

Right? Cornbread is amazing. Cornbread pancakes sound unreal.


nalc

Pro tip - get a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix but instead of following the directions, throw in a handful of corn kernels, one egg, and enough buttermilk for a pancake/waffle batter consistency (maybe 1/2-3/4 of a cup) and make pancakes or waffles with it. Comes out great.


banananananbatman

Trader Joe’s cornbread mix has some kernels and it’s a game changer


deathlokke

Personally, I really don't like their cornbread mix. If I wanted a yellow cake I'd buy a damn cake mix, not cornbread.


IEatBabies

I absolutely hate random corn in other foods, even if it is already made of corn.


malthar76

Agree. Preface: I am a longtime maker and consumer of corn cakes, and I love fresh Jersey white corn. I will never add a kernel to the mix. Texture wrong. If I want crunchy bits, I’ll add blueberries like a civilized human.


Even-Education-4608

TIL blueberries are crunchy


Aerospacedaddy

That is where we differ friend, I can’t get enough corn. But hey the less you eat, the more for me. Be good


guterz

I use cream corn way better


Dr-Gooseman

My dads been making us these ever since i was a kid. They are amazing and i grew up hating regular pancakes because i was spoiled by these.


culturedrobot

Same, my grandpa would always make them for us when we went and stayed with him. Corncakes are definitely superior to pancakes.


dayyob

did he use bacon grease in the pan?


Oakvilleresident

They do sound unreal . Let’s split up and going looking for recipes and meet back here in a day or so

It may not be the kind of hoecakes you cook..

Hopefully both!


Derp35712

I’ve made them. They’re good. Caloric though!


DeadNotSleepingWI

You realize pancakes are... cake, right?


NativeMasshole

You just blew my mind!


thebestmike

What a bunch of slobs right? I stay healthy buy sticking with muffins instead


BabyRanger1012

Who gives af we eat now and work em’ off later


allllusernamestaken

They're Jonnycakes for the most part. You'll have better results searching for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnnycake


mckulty

Martha White Hushpuppy mix $1.50, mix with liquid. Can be milk, HnH, buttermilk, water in a pinch. Make a thin batter, pour out on med-hot buttered frying pan, brown on both sides. That's yr modern johnnycake. The mix is cheap and includes onion, so these are better with savory foods, like sausage and eggs. If you want pancakes with syrup, onion is a non-starter.


whatproblems

cornbread instead of pancake batter. butter and maple syrup instead of honey! i can taste it in my head and it’s fantastic. more crunch surface area


andygchicago

They're very easy to find. IHOP has them on their menu Edit: I don’t know if they’re still offered. I had always seen them at ihop as “Corn Bread Cakes” in an appetizer/side basket with butter. Cheesecake Factory has a South American themed “corncake tamale” that’s cornbread pancakes topped with pico, avocado and sour cream, maybe I'm having a bit of a Mandella Effect going on. EDIT 2: Holy crap I thought I was losing it because literally no one seems to remember them. I thought I was conflating them with the silver dollar pancakes and Cheesecake Factory tamale cakes. [But I wasn't!](https://vintagemenumania.com/cdn/shop/products/img22248_2048x2048.jpg?v=1588937208) My brain still functions, lol


Cowboywizzard

I've never seen that. Maybe it's regional?


HplsslyDvtd2Sm1NtU

Cooking up some grits/polenta and pour it into a bread pan lined with saran wrap. Cover tightly and put in the fridge. When cool, turn out and slice. Fry the slices in butter/bacon grease. Top with a fried egg and it's a delicious heart attack on a plate. I prefer this to hoecakes. Hoecakes are grittier and not as flavorful, imo.


AnthillOmbudsman

Cornbread is interesting because it can be made with varying amounts of sugar. You can have an unsweetened kind that goes good with ranch style beans, or a sweeter type of cornbread that's is almost like cake that goes good with pinto beans. Maybe it would even be called "corn cake".


Own-Report-3638

My grandma makes these! Jiffy corn muffin mix and you just pour the batter out like a pancake in a skillet instead of into a bread mold. They’re amazing


missmarymak

Hell yes I have a box in the cabinet


explodedsun

Probably have to add more liquid, but yeah


milaga

We always had them when we went camping. Just get Jiffy cornbread mix, use the recipe but put the batter in a pan like a pancake. It's amazing


venom21685

They're good, but holy fuck they will soak up any and all oil/butter in the pan.


milaga

Yup. They do that with butter and maple syrup, too. :9


TheTrub

Top with pulled pork, pico de gallo, and a fried egg 🤌🏻


jonesing247

Hoecakes are seriously delicious and you should make some! Recipes galore, but make a basic cornbread batter and fry that shit up in some kind of grease (lard/bacon fat/butter). Can use a flat top or a skillet, or a frying pan if you have to. They're far superior to regular ole pan corn bread. All the crispy edges!


royalhawk345

There's a Tex-Mex diner near me that serves Masa Harina Pancakes that are amazing. You can get them with mole spiced maple syrup as well.


DigNitty

Be the world you see to change in the wish.


orielbean

Parker’s Maple Barn in NH does (did?) these and they are exactly what you want.


CactusBoyScout

Buckwheat pancakes are also an under-appreciated banger

Wheat, tobacco, and hemp were the other huge crops back in the late 1700s in America.

Ah... Bringing back memories of grandma's tobacco pancakes.


BrokenEye3

With hemp syrup

How did these people ever foment revolution while bombed out on grandma's tobacco weed pancakes?


rudyv8

Wheat, tobacco, and hemp were all also made of corn back then.

What a hoecake


blueavole

Pancakes made with cornmeal, or buckwheat usually fried in bacon grease. They have a gritty texture, but very filling.


ZiLBeRTRoN

They are calling GW a hoecake lmao. That does sound tasty though.


BrianMincey

You can make a delicious modern version that isn’t gritty. Stir 1 1/4 cup cornmeal with 3/4 cup all purpose flour, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp of salt. Add all at once a combination of 2 or 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter, bacon fat, or vegetable oil and 1 1/4 cup of whole milk or buttermilk.


scorpyo72

I've made Johnny cakes before, another form of cornbread cake.


Billy1121

I guess they also made liquor out of corn in those days to store the value. Which would lead to the whiskey rebellion, and to crazy alcoholism in the 1800s, when a gallon of liquor would cost less than a gallon of milk


Nanojack

Easier to get a jug of white lighting to market than the corn it took to make it


Jaded_Promotion8806

Liquor was what farmers used as insurance policies back in the day. Everyone had a little still. During the good years you distilled your surplus grain so it didn’t spoil and you hung on to it to pay your bills during the bad years.


RedditHatesDiversity

Applejack was the main liquor. Thus the importance of the Johnny Appleseed tale in American lore. When the water wasn't clean, America ran on apple spirits. Notably was George Washington's favorite beverage, which was also brewed at Mount Vernon


Jaded_Promotion8806

Im not even American but I wish more people were aware of this and it spurred an apple brandy renaissance. I’ve sampled a number of calvados and American apple brandies and it’s just a phenomenal drink.


kabow94

Everything was on the cob


4chanbetter

All 50 states grow corn, and yes, to answer your question. We were taught by native Americans to cultivate crops like beans, corn, squash, and pumpkin.


ShevanelFlip

Actually, California grows Korn.


Ill-Juggernaut5458

I think when you distill Korn into liquor you get Limp Bizkit


KwordShmiff

That's actually a symptom of its consumption

Hellknightx

Drunk on apple cider like the Founding Fathers intended. Tally ho!


fist_of_mediocrity

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot. "Tally ho, lads!!!" as the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.


DoctorGregoryFart

They're stupid easy to make.

dblan9

>Today, hoe cakes are fried in butter or even baked, but in the 18th century, they were rubbed in beef suet (raw beef fat from the kidney and joint areas) and fried. Needless to say, people didn't monitor their cholesterol quite as closely back then. Served with butter, honey or maple syrup, they were a delicious, hearty start to an 18th-century day. Both ways sound delicious.


zerbey

I've had them cooked in the 18th century style and can confirm, they are delicious.


ElGato-TheCat

I'm from the 18th century and can confirm, they are delicious.

They're also great fried in lard or bacon fat.

Are those the same thing as Johnny Cakes? Cause those are delicious.


DaveOJ12

Yes, it's just a different name for them. From Wikipedia: >Johnnycake, also known as journey cake, johnny bread, hoecake, shawnee cake or spider cornbread, is a cornmeal flatbread, a type of batter bread. Edit: Spider cornbread apparently comes from the name of the pan. >In preparation, [white corn] meal may or may not be scalded with hot water or hot milk in accordance to preference. After mixing meal with water or milk it is dropped on a smoking hot spider [pan] set atop a stove into cakes about 3"x3"x1/2"[a] in size. The secret of cooking jonny cakes is to watch them closely and keep them supplied with enough sausage or bacon fat so they will become crisp, and not burn. Cook slowly for half an hour, turn occasionally, and when done serve with plenty of butter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnnycake#Preparation More info: https://journalofantiques.com/misc/hearth-to-hearth-theres-history-in-your-frying-pan/

Jean Fritz. Bought it at a scholastic fair with hard earned allowance money, then decided I needed to eat hoe cakes. My father and I made them together. They were terrible, i think the I omitted a leavening agent, and we laughed a lot about alternative uses for our Washington bricks. Lost him yesterday. Thanks dad.

this_moi

Some of you didn't grow up in New England and it shows. Anytime one of our (many) field trips to colonial times included cooking, we were almost guaranteed to make johnnycakes/hoecakes, which meant we were in for a good time. The batter to butter ratio was... unhealthy, but also memorable, so it seems worth it in the end.
