I realize this is far down on the postings, but I think Jim might like to read. I was born and raised in south Georgia and really grew up on hoe cake corn bread! My mother used to make it almost every evening meal and quite honestly, it took me several years and a bunch of corn meal to learn. I am actually the last person in my family that can do it. It is really nothing more than fine, water-ground corn meal, salt and pepper mixed with water until it actually falls through the fork that I use to mix it. Just enough peanut oil in the bottom of an iron skillet (8 inch) to cover the bottom (about an ounce or two). Heat at medium high until you feel with your hand over the top that it is hot but not hot enough to pop! Turn down to medium low and pour in mixture slowly until the pan is covered thinly or about an 8th of an inch. Now is the time to be patient and wait until the corners of the bread have slightly browned, and then turn. Watch carefully, and turn frequently until the bread has browned slightly and sufficiently on both sides. Mrs Queenfish and I enjoy this true southern delicacy several times a week with almost anything. It is a shame that it is an art almost lost in modern times. I love it and could have it every day.
