Hoe Cakes Recipe

Ingredients

* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1teaspoon baking powder
* 2 1/4 cup flour

Directions

Mix buttermilk with butter, salt and baking powder. Add flour gradually, leaving enough to flour hands for shaping. Dough should be a little stiff. Divide into two parts. With each part, shape into a giant biscuit shape. Put one at a time into a greased preheated cast iron skillet. Use hands to pat down into bottom of skillet and even out dough. Lightly brown one side, then turn and brown other side.

* note: flour tortillas are made with water instead of buttermilk; and rolled out into small circles or patted out by hand into circle shape; cook the same.
