"Some call them hoe cakes, we call them cornbread patties in my family. My mom and grandma have made these for as far back as I can remember. Mom finally wrote down the measured ingredients so that I could make these tasty morsels at home for my family. This is very quick and easy to make for those busy weekday meals. You can't get any more Southern than this!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix all ingredients in a bowl just until mixture forms a thick batter, do not over mix. Add enough oil to frying pan to just cover bottom of pan and heat on medium high until hot.
Step 2
Drop one tablespoon of batter into hot oil to form a small patty. Fry on one side until golden brown. Turn and fry on the other side. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
Step 3
Continue browning in batches, adding more oil as necessary. This will make about 20 patties.
Step 4
Serve immediately with butter. You can also serve with honey or your favorite sweet preserves.
Step 5
Any leftovers can be frozen and easily reheated in the toaster oven.
