George Washington's
Favorite Corn Cakes (Hoe Cakes)
2 cups stone-ground white cornmeal
1 1/2 to 2 cups lukewarm water
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
mild vegetable oil for greasing the griddle
honey and butter, for serving
Procedure:
1. The evening before serving, combine 1 cup cornmeal with 1 1/2 cups
of the water, and the yeast in a medium-size bowl. Whisk well; the
mixture will be thin. Cover bowl tightly; let sit out overnight in
a warm place.
2. The next morning, whisk in the remaining 1 cup cornmeal, salt, egg.
Recover bowl; let stand 15-20 minutes until just-added cornmeal absorbs
some of the liquid and softens.
3. Check consistency; it should be close to a thin pancake batter.
If needed, add more lukewarm water.
4. Heat well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high
heat. Moisten a paper towel with vegetable oil. Once skillet is hot,
rub quickly and thoroughly with the oiled towel.
5. Stir batter well; using a ladle, pour 3 inch pancakes onto hot skillet/griddle.
If batter doesn't sizzle, your pan isn't hot enough.
6. Watch closely; when bubbles appear throughout and top surface is
completely dry and edges are curling; then flip and cook for about
30 seconds on other side. Cakes should be golden-brown, nicely mottled,
neither too pale or too dark. Repeat with remaining batter. Stir batter
occasionally so it doesn't separate.
7. Serve with honey and butter.
