Fry Cakes

Source
Grandma's Notepad (handwritten, p. 48)
Serves
16

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • Oil for frying
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup water, plus 2 Tbsp water

Steps

  1. [No method written on this page — only ingredients and a yield of 16 are listed. Likely fried on a griddle/skillet, similar to the Hoecakes recipe elsewhere in this notepad, though that’s not stated here.]

Notes

  • Title on the card is hard to read — could be “Rice Cakes” or “Fry Cakes.” Given the “oil for frying” and self-rising cornmeal/flour, “Fry Cakes” seems most likely (similar to a hushpuppy-style recipe), but worth confirming against the physical page.
  • No mixing or cooking instructions are written down, only ingredients.
