My grandmother made hoecake on top of the stove in an iron skillet. She would cut it into squares for us kids. A lot of the time we didnt have store bought syrup and she would make a sugar syrup on the stove. Along with that we would have a piece of fried fatback. We had no idea we were poor.

[@444enahs]

my grandma used to make her hoecakes on the stove. they were more like cornbread. the batter was like that of pancake batter. she would use bacon grease to fry them up. they were like smaller size pancakes. sometimes she would mix thin-sliced okra in them or corn niblets.. my favorite meal in the world was to break up a couple in a bowl and put her homemade pintos on top with some onions and her homemade chow chow (its kinda like a relish).. what I wouldn't do for one more bowl of my grannys hoecakes and pintos.

[@territn8871]

Yeah, we called fried cornbread cakes hoe cakes. Just cornmeal, little milk, little water until batter is like pancake batter. I just made some last night to go with some soup I made. If you're running short on time to bake cornbread in the oven, hotcakes are the answer!

Yep bacon grease is not bad for you. The companies making all the bad food people started earing about the 1950s and on is what is killing people. All the crap they have decided needs to be man made and not homegrown is the issue. Just like the dyes they have in food these days, if you go back to when you were young and thick about it our cereals were not as brightly colored because they used natural dyes in them. Now if you get most food that is brightly colored its because they add petroleum based food dyes to everything. Even marshmallows have blue dye in them. Petroleum based same base gasoline is made with.

[@JDLarge]

You’ve probably already heard this somewhere in the comments but I’m going to share a tidbit anyway in case y’all haven’t yet… One reason pans bubble in the center is from being run under cool or cold water when their hot. You can physically watch it warp. If you take a couple wooden blocks and place the on the floor about an inch from that pans outer edge underneath leaving no center support, then just use your palm and press it flat again. I’ve had to a couple times here but that’s why the wife and kids only use cheap nonstick pans and leave my Wolfgang Puck pans alone… Also I do grits the same as you but there’s so many options to decorate that canvas with whatever you want. I do them with sausage crumbles, scrambled eggs, sautéed onion, some yellow and red diced pepper and cheddar cheese all stirred in. Kids loose their little minds when they see that hit the breakfast table😉 Anyway I’m loving the channel, thanks for taking us along it was fun annnnnnnd just like that it looks like I’ll be making some hoe cake very soon! ✌🏼

[@magnificent6668]

I learned to make hoe cake from a very old cookbook - it's nothing more than cornmeal with boiling water poured over it, salt, then allowed to cool and you pat out cakes that are skillet fried. In the fields, a hoe was literally cleaned, greased and held over the fire to cook - hence their name.

Tammy, I totally understand about you wanting your food to taste like what it is. I cook like that. I do not like overly seasoned food. If I am cooking greens then I want them to taste like greens, mashed potatoes taste like mashed potatoes, etc. My daughter in law once said she liked my "bland food". My son quickly spoke up and said "you don't really mean bland 'cause Mama's food is anything but 'bland". Cooking the way you cook is a gift that very few cooks can duplicate. It takes years and years of practice.

Perfect bacon is in the eye of the beholder. My perfect bacon is CRISPY and when held horizontally, should not flop and when held vertically, should stand at attention. For northerners and Italians, compare grits to polenta. Polenta is more finely ground so it’s creamier.

[@sandralouth3103]

In South Africa we call "Grits" Mielie Meal (pronounced Meely Meel). We usually have it with a tomato and onion gravy together with our BBQ'd meat. We also eat it as a porridge with milk, sugar and butter. We also make a 'Pap Tert' (porridge tart). We add bacon, cheese, spinach to a very thick grit mixture and bake it as a loaf.

[@zin153]

Don't forget the steamed mielie meal bread and pap en wors.

[@zin153]

@A G I don't know what stale maize is, unless you're referring to stuiver(sic) pap. Pap = mielie/maize/corn meal. Putu/phutu is a pap porridge like grits, I think. Stuiver pap is maize meal cooked to a very dry texture. And Krummelpap is similar to stuiver except it is not as dry but is very crumbly. We also have samp which is the whole corn dried with the outer casting of the corn kernel removed. Samp is usually cooked with beans. Hope this answers your question.

Hi Tammy & Chris! Hello from California! I had no idea that’s why you started this channel-love you guys even more for it. Your kids will absolutely treasure this, keeping family traditions alive!! I just attempted a family recipe passed down through generations on my dad’s side (my aunt taught me how to make it years ago) and it just brings so much joy to bring life to nostalgic dishes. Simply the best. I’ve been watching your videos every night because they’re so relaxing and down to earth. Though they do make me 😋 hungry!

[@annacribbs4142]

Not gonna lie,I haven't heard that word or that whatever you called it since I was a little girl. I literally forgot bout this ... I'm so excited I'm not making o sense lol ...💯💯💯💯❣️❣️❣️❣️Thank you.... Just memories bout to make me cry... Thanks 😊 a million....

[@gsmith5140]

Different hoe cake than my grandmother's. She made them with cornmeal. So good. I like that giant fluffy biscuit, though. 😊

[@jandavis1523]

If you came to my house and set down at the table, you wouldn’t complain. AMEN!

[@lorilyons6073]

Hi Tammy! Love ya

[@jenniferc3653]

I'm from Chicago but live in SC & NC & love southern food & I just love watching you! You are great! Keep it up

[@indi818]

I love your channel! I’m binge watching all of your videos. I laughed so hard when you made a comment about the burned pice of bacon “ awww bless his little heart.” 😂… Your food looks amazing.

[@armeyf]

Ask the local grocer to order some. I know there have been many times we've done that. Then they'll start carrying it on their shelves.

[@judystites9575]

My mom cooked this biscuit on top the stove.

[@wendymccrary8268]

Judy Stites i also cooked my hoecake on top stove

[@pennypedersen6205]

I Love your stories with your cooking. Reminds me of my Happy Memories of my grandmother & mama cooking. My granddad loved coffee & cheddar cheese with biscuits or on bread. M1y family was from the South so my husband just looks at me for some of what I eat or cook.

[@carolyngrubb5743]

YOU ARE A SOUTHERN COOK LIKE MYSELF. I LEARNED FROM MY MOTHER SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY A WONDERFULL COOK SHE HAD ME IN THE KITCHEN WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD I AM IN MY 70'S NOW. LOVE YOUR SHOW.

[@gwenhafford4112]

I’ve never had grits with sugar in them. I’m not sure I want to try it! Grits are so perfect with butter, salt & pepper (and sometimes cheese).

[@denisenotdennis]

I was not born with the biscuit making gene!!!

[@robloxisbest6415]

I felt the same way until I watched Tammy make them ; I can make the pretty biscuits ever now ! Just give it a try 😀 Kim

[@denisenotdennis]

@@robloxisbest6415 oh I make them.. with the Southern Biscuit mix.. they taste good... but are kinda crunchy... and I hate a crunch biscuit!!!.. lol

[@vivianholmes9253]

I got on Pintrest and a girl put up her grandma's biscuits, they were made with whipping cream , no milk or shortening, just a pint of whipping cream, flour baking powder and a couple pinches of salt !!!! Man those biscuits come out high and fluffy with those vertical cracks in the sides , best bis c u it's I ever made , but you usually don't have cream around , unless you have a d a iry farm !!!!!

[@s.leemccauley7302]

@@vivianholmes9253 I miss having a milk cow mainly because of the cream.

[@rogerramjet7567]

Wrights IS dang good bacon. Can’t miss with that. 😀 beautiful breakfast!!

[@Slassetter]

Wrights Bacon is the bomb! That’s all I buy. I love your videos! You make me cry and laugh. You cook like my momma did, too.❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@susanlogan7810]

That's what my mama called a hoecake. It was a big biscuit in a skillet

[@jeepsmith4447]

My mother-in-law made hoecake on the stove when I was pregnant. I craved them but I don’t know what temp to cook them on

[@evinrude1236]

Never heard of a southern boy that don't like sweet tea........smh. We gonna have to lay hands on you and pray over you, Chris! 😉😆🤣😁😜

[@galelewis3092]

[@gemmaavary4996]

Hey sweet Tammy and Chris, Oh my what A Delicious meal. Chris said, I wish y'all could smell the Hoe Cake. Honey I wish I was there eating the Hoe Cake♡♡♡ Everything Looks Perfect. My Mom used to make homemade biscuits or cornbread every day when I was growing up. She is A Wonderful cook too♡♡♡ Her Mother-in-law taught her how to cook. Her Mother wouldn't let them cook. She was afraid they would waste the food. Thank you and Chris so very much for sharing with us♡♡♡ I want to fix this Delicious meal. I Love fixing this when I don't have alot of time. It's easy and simply DELICIOUS ☆☆☆☆☆ We Love y'all so very much ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡ GOD IS GOOD♡♡♡

[@ladysmith3578]

In Kentucky we call that a pone of bread, either biscuit bread or corn bread. I love it with sausage or bacon gravy. I actually put bacon grease in my sausage gravy. I for one am very thankful for your videos. You cook like I cook. And everything looks scrumptious. Bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, fried taters, eggs and some good preserves or jam.I love grits too but I love butter and sugar in mine. 😋

[@mariecalambert9511]

We love Golden Eagle table syrup. We live in northeast Mississippi and they only sell it at one locally owned supermarket here. We like to mix it with butter and put it on our biscuits. I have made several of your recipes lately, things I've been making for many years myself just to see the difference. We do things very similarly, love to change things up though. Keep doing what your doing. Love your videos!

[@laurasimpson7211]

He is so sweet to you! I just love yaw!

[@lisagialucci2296]

Your gas stove - it’s so pretty- and your fridge is so nice - your getting everything like your use to 💚

[@sabrinaclark9205]

Your momma sounds amazing

[@lemurchick1965]

I’m right there with Chris.... We have cornbread with her meal my daddy taught me to have cornbread and milk for dessert I’m 57 and I’m still the only one of the kids that enjoys that delicious treat 💜💜

[@dawnblackman8828]

I love watching your videos . you cook like my mom and grandma. .. Love it . thankyou

[@cathyorseske2564]

I always love watching you cook.

[@nancyspringston8547]

I have been watching your channel for quite some time. Because I have taken culinary training, do catering, and a Yankee LOL!!! I do not cook a lot of southern style food….but the more I watch, and get to know you, I just love you! I watcch another southern cook channel, too. And you two have switched me to using self rising flour. Now I am going to break down and pay the huge price to try the White Lily flour you two ladies use….. I run a breakfast Cafe’ every Sunday morning for our church…and have finally developed the art of making real southern biscuits like you two do., YUM!!! Just want to tell you I have become a fan,..even though I do not comment a lot….I watch your vlogs, some of them multiple times. Love you! (Um, I grew up in Massachusetts, lived most of my life in California and past 11 years in the Rocky Mountains). I, too, love to cook….and I am 76 years old. I do not like cooking on a gas stove….for multiple reasons. I love how you clean as you go, as that is thee way I work, too. And, I love aprons! You have some cute ones. God bless! Oh, I love bacon, actually we much prefer the thin crispy bacon (not burned), but I DO NOT want bacon on my hamburgers, or in my macaroni and cheese, or most other dishes, nor cook with bacon grease for the reasons you state. We dolove BLT sandwiches with home grown tomatoes and lettuce, and bacon with breakfast once in a while…….

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Wonderful to hear from you!

[@sabrinaclark9205]

I cook and talk like I'm southern but born and raised in California. My momma is southern and proud of it. Love ya

[@brendaritchie6210]

Good morning!! Love you Guys... Another great supper breakfast video. I'll be looking for that type of sausage up here at wal-mart.. Have a wonderful day .. Brenda.... (I fixed myself breakfast the other night pancakes and fried eggs.)

[@brendairby9910]

When I was very young my dad used to eat cornbread and milk. So of course I did. Haven't had that in years. Also, I just recently had cheese grits in a restaurant. They were so good, never had them before. Mmmm it all looks so good! 🌞 It's almost 12 midnight, and I'm hungry from watching y'all! ♥️

[@demishaellis7076]

It all looks delicious!! I love that aluminum skillet!!!🥰

[@janenichols3880]

Ham and greens and beans ,oh my ! Love them grits!! Makes me hungry!!

[@karynnatale9851]

Hi Tammy and Chris I've been watching your videos for the past few months and I have to say I love watching your videos and your recipes are tried and true Tammy. My mother is a wonderful baker but she never took the time to teach me how to bake. My Dad taught me how to cook meats and veggies which is great but until now my baking skills have been out of a box. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of cooking and sharing your life stories. It wonderful that you and your husband do this together. You are both good people and every video is refreshing and fun to watch! Keep em coming I will be watching. God bless you both!
