Jerry when I make Spanish Bean Soup I use two small ham hocks in about 10 cups water (simmer for about 1 hr.) Add two cans garbanzo beans (with the liquid), one onion quartered, dice up a couple of potatoes & half package of saffron. Simmer until potatoes are done. Since I can't get cuban bread here I serve with toasted garlic bread. |

HOECAKES
Hoecakes Ingredients 3/4 cup flour 1 1/2 cups corn meal 4 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 2 beaten eggs 1 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup oil extra oil Preparation Combine all ingredients except extra oil. Mix well. The batter should be a little thinner than corn bread batter. In a heavy skillet, heat enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (you can use Pam spray in place of oil). Shape batter into fritters & place in prepared skillet. Cook on one side, turn & cook on other side until done & browned. In the old days, it was not uncommon for the people to cook "Hoecakes" on a hot hoe while they worked in the fields. As you can see this how the name "Hoecakes" came into being.
