GLORIFIED HOE CAKES Mrs. Archy S. Corken
(This recipe won a $10.00 Tribune prize for wartime conservation recipes.)
Two cups yellow cornmeal; one teaspoonful salt; three and one-half cups buttermilk; cottage cheese; one cup flour; one tablespoonful sugar; one teaspoonful soda; green pepper. Sift together cornmeal, flour, salt and sugar into a bowl. Pour three cups buttermilk (or sour milk) over the sifted ingredients, and beat well. Dissolve one teaspoonful soda in one cup of sour milk and beat thoroughly into the butter. Spread on well greased hot griddle and fry until little bubbles cover the surface. Turn quickly. Have ready some cottage cheese seasoned with salt and pepper in which has been mixed chopped green pepper or pimento. Spread one-half inch thick on top of hoe cake. Cut cake into quarters and serve on hot plate. This recipe makes four griddle size cakes.
