Hoecakes are like individual cornbread pancakes. Named for the iron griddle (not the gardening tool!) called a hoe that was originally used to cook them, they are perfect as is with a splash of maple syrup. They are also perfect when used to mop up delicious sauces or to serve alongside any saucy meal, like stews, rice and beans, and hearty soups.
