    Hoe cakes in the waffle iron, feasible?

    Wifey's not home tonight, so I want to give this a try? Deer steaks and hoe cakes, works for me! Plan to fry a little bacon to grease my waffle maker with. Or I may just fry my 'hot water cornbread' in the waffle maker? Any thoughts? hc18flyer

    If it involves bacon grease-- ya know it'll be good.

    My Southern Belle Grandma thought it was its own food group and required with every meal.

    Between bacon grease, real butter, and Crisco--- you can cook anything.

    Since I like the crust on cornbread best, I often make it in the waffle iron. That way I get lots of crunch crust.

    I ended up making the hot water cornbread. I could have cooked it longer. I will keep trying. I love cornbread with butter and honey. At deer camp we pair the hot water cornbread with stew, made a with canned deer. It don't get no better! hc18flyer

    I took a life long friend hunting in the Texas Hill Country several years back.
    He was at about saturation for work related stress and after our first camp fire meal-
    He relaxed, opened a beer, and said, "This is great........ I ain't never going back".

    I never looked forward to going back to the city, but never needed as much convincing as he did that time.

    I didn't think so until I ran into a few refugees that had come down here from those frozen,
    unexplored, Northern territories of Not Texas where they have critters that will eat your horse.

    You should see how they have defiled chili.
    The best way I have reverse engineered their recipe for it is to combine and heat :
    A can of cheap grocery store spaghetti sauce.
    Dump it in a pot, then pour four cans water in with it, and cut up some hot dogs to swim around on the bottom.
    But to their credit--- they don't put beans in it.

    There are some people here that will eat the horse. Beans are just filler makes it so all last longer

    Don, Ed, and others, Let's work out an awesome 'Hoe Cakes' recipe! Try some, adapt what we need to and share the results. I have a buttermilk one I am trying next. hc18flyer

    Yawl probably miss out on making pancakes with Jiffy corn bread mix* and cheese grits too.
    No wonder people up there are cranky all the time.

    *also requires bacon grease rather than salad oil.

    You left out dump the mess over spaghetti noodles... BLECH

    I just made a batch of chili

    Hand chopped chuck trimmed of all silver skin/ gristle/most of the fat(use fat to to render then brown the meat!)
    Mild chili powder to taste, I use around 1/4 cup per pound
    chopped onion
    beef base
    beer
    my own blend of HOT chili powder

    that's it... no corn, no tomato, no other weird veg and NO BEANS

    You're my hero.
    Every native born redneck in Texas would be proud to eat your chili.
