Tipsy Hoecakes--Yummy!!

Lord Honey, whether ya call it a hoecake or Johnny cake, there's nothin' more southern than this sweet little morsel of fried dough goodness. My hoecake is a little tipsy with a great hoppy flavor, created from adding a splash of beer to the batter. Just for your 411--hoecakes are traditionally fried in an iron skillet to insure you get that great crispy outside that ever'one loves. Don't skimp on these--nobody can eat just one.
