Hoe Cakes
Here is one that makes a great high carb base for any meal.
Hoe Cakes (AKA fried cornbread)
Ingredients Weight
1/2 Cup Cornmeal 3.5oz
1 cup hot water (more or less) 8.0oz
2 dashes butter flakes 0.2oz
1 dash salt 0.1oz
3 dashes powdered milk 0.3oz
olive oil 0.5oz
Total weight: 4.6oz dry 8.0 water
Calories: approximately 550-600
*note* all weights are approximate
Mix all ingredients in a bowl to a consistency that isn't runny but isn't a paste either (similar to pancake batter). Rub a light coat of oil on your frying pan, and then pour the batter into pancake sized cakes. Heat until brown, then flip and heat until brown on the other side. For a variety, try adding a packet of opinion soup mix, taco seasoning, or beef stew flavoring. I like to eat mine with a packet of honey from McDonalds. Make double recipe in the morning and have cornbread with breakfast and lunch.
Another cool thing. In 1999 I was hiking north of Pearisburg and stayed at Rice Field Shelter when a couple of Swedish hikers followed me in. They had a 5 pound bag of flour amoung other things and mayed fried pan bread for dinner. they had some very interesting gear.
