![What I’m making now: Hoecakes.
1. I like recipes that call for using rendered bacon grease.
2. Easy and cheap. Flour, eggs, corn meal (like $2 for an 8 pack of Jiffy), and I added a 60 cent can of corn to Paula Deen’s recipe.
FYI: Hoecake is notably the namesake of the cakewalk dance form. During the 19th century, slaveholders would hold dance competitions for their slaves, offering hoecake as a reward to the winner. Then known as the chalk line dance, the form became known as the cakewalk when it rose to prominence with the advent of ragtime music.[4]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/qlWPcr7QvofyksryIqiC5KbJo1_400.jpg)
