Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl
- Make a "hole' in the middle of the dry ingredients. Crack 2 eggs in the middle. Add melted butter and olive oil. Mix with a whisk. Slowly add milk to the eggs, mixing as you are pouring.*If this sounds too complicated you can just mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl for this step.

When using a 8 inch non-stick pan on medium high heat
- Start with 1 teaspoon of olive oil for the pan, then pour batter in the pan. Flip hoecake when bubbles start to appear. Once flipped it should only need to cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Continue until all the batter is gone. Only add oil to the pan as needed.

- *Using a larger pan will shave off 5 minutes of cooking time.Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Pour enough batter to make 3 hoecakes. Flip hoecake when bubbles start to appear. Once flipped it should only need to cook for 1-2 minutes.

Notes
- To reduce cholesterol, use egg whites instead of the whole egg
- I prefer to add 3 hoecakes to a larger pan, but some people go ahead and squeeze in 4 hoecakes. The preference is yours!
- There is fine, medium grind and coarse grind. Coarse cornmeal gives it a texture and a bit of crunch. If you don't think you'll like that go for the fine cornmeal.
