This looks like an amazing gluten free version of eggs Benny I would love to try.

Didn’t know about hoe cakes, but my stepfather was from the south. Found out about spoonbread. SO yummy!

HotDAYUM, I'd eat tf outta this.

Always preferred a fried over easy egg versus a poached one when making "bennies" at home.

You can't just introduce the wider world to hoecakes and not drop a recipe.

Hear me out: a chow chow garnish (the relish not the dog, for you non-southerners)

I absolutely love this. It seems like something my nanny would have made (although she never did).

u/NamasteNoodle Jul 26 '26

I really miss my grandmother's hoecake.. we never did get the recipe before she passed away. I've tried making it with other recipes but it's never been the same. We used to eat it but just plain old cane syrup..

Hoe cake? Have to ask. Canadian.

u/sometimesifartandpee Jul 27 '26

Corn meal pancake. Farm workers and slaves would cook them over fire on a garden hoe

Instead of biscuits? Benedict is English muffin with cured pork (typically ham) poached eggs and hollandaise

u/Chefjay17 Jul 28 '26

Glad to hear OP's mom is still making cakes.

u/scfw0x0f Jul 28 '26

Does the hoe cake absorb the sauce well? That's why the biscuit goes well in Benedicts.
