Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour (if using), baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk, egg, and water. Stir until a thick batter forms. Adjust the water if needed to reach a pancake-like consistency.
Step 3: Heat the Skillet
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add bacon grease or vegetable oil, ensuring the bottom is well-coated.
Step 4: Fry the Hoecakes
Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop batter into the hot skillet, forming small pancakes about 3-4 inches wide.
Step 5: Cook Until Golden Brown
Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Drain & Serve
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot!
