Steps:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and place a rack on top; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar.

- Heat oil and butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-to-medium high heat and drop batter by 1/8 cup measure into the hot skillet to form small medallions.
- Fry until brown and crisp, turn and brown the other side. Remove and let drain on rack.

Steps:
- Add the flour, cornmeal, and sugar to a large bowl. Add the eggs and buttermilk to a smaller bowl and whisk well.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients along with ¼ cup of vegetable oil and ½ cup of water. Mix well to combine all ingredients but don't over mix. The batter will be thick. If you think it is too thick, add a bit more water, about one tablespoon at a time, until it gets to the consistency you like.
- Add ¼ cup of vegetable oil (I use peanut oil, but any kind will do) to a large skillet over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the batter using a large spoon or small ice-cream scoop. About two tablespoons of batter will make a hoecake about 3 inches across.
- Cook the hoe cake for one to two minutes on each side or until each side is brown and the edges are crispy. Use a pancake turner or spatula to remove them and drain them on a paper towel.
- Serve immediately.
