0:01
- Hey y'all, welcome to Mama's Kitchen,
0:02
and I got Jelly Roll here with me today.
0:03
Nita's making hoe cakes. - Hoe cakes.
0:06
- The best thing in the world.
0:07
So now you just- - One.
0:09
- You went flat to cooking.
0:11
You ain't teaching nothing.
0:12
What you got in here?
0:13
- Purpose- - Flour.
0:14
- Oh, you got what? A cup of flour?
0:16
- Yeah. - All right.
0:17
- And a half a cup, I don't know, flour, meal.
0:21
A whole spoon and a half.
0:25
- So you got about a cup - A little bit more.
0:27
- of all purpose flour. - Yeah.
0:29
- And about three quarters of a cup of corn meal.
0:31
- Mm-hmm. - All right.
0:34
And in that, what you gonna have?
0:36
Y'all, you know, queen of hoe cakes,
0:39
if you've eaten a hoe cake
0:40
at Lady & Sons in Savannah, Georgia,
0:42
it came from this dear angel,
0:44
such a good friend of ours- - I think
0:45
that's enough of that.
0:46
- For 30 years, and she just going to keep cooking.
0:49
So she used a ladle to measure her sugar.
0:51
So your guess is good as mine.
0:53
What do you think? - And a pinch of salt.
0:55
- About maybe three tablespoons of sugar?
0:58
- Salt. I got the sugar.
1:01
- [Jamie] No, I'm asking you how much you put in there.
1:03
- Just a little bit. Just a little.
1:05
Go ahead. - A pinch?
1:07
- Go ahead.
1:08
- All of it? - Go ahead.
1:08
- About a tablespoon of salt. - Yeah. Yeah.
1:11
- You want me to crack them eggs for you?
1:13
- No, I do it myself. - All right.
1:15
Hardheaded. We only love hardheaded people.
1:18
We only keep hardheaded people around us.
1:21
- You better.
1:21
- Birds of a feather flock together.
1:24
- A joke about you talking about mm.
1:26
- Hardworking and sweet,
1:27
Jelly's one of the sweetest woman.
1:29
She's like, "I can't decide."
1:33
You're not old enough to be my grandmama.
1:35
- Yes, I am. - Kind of...
1:36
No, you ain't.
1:37
- Yes, I am.
1:39
- No, you ain't.
1:39
- I'm 80 years old.
1:41
- I'm 58. - So?
1:42
- So you're my mama's age.
1:43
You old enough to be my mama,
1:44
but you sure ain't my mama.
1:46
More like a crazy aunt,
1:49
or that weird neighbor down the street
1:50
that we think is okay.
1:51
- Okay, a little bit of oil.
1:53
- Little bit of oil. Four eggs.
1:56
Little bit of oil.
1:58
That's probably,
1:58
that's about a couple tablespoons of cooking oil.
2:01
All right.
2:03
- I want a spoon. Not no this.
2:06
- [Jamie] Here you go. I got you.
2:07
Now the ladle is for your ladlin'.
2:08
- Yeah. Okay.
2:10
- [Jamie] Did you put buttermilk
2:11
in there yet? - Nope.
2:12
- You gonna do that next. - Yes.
2:14
- [Jamie] I'm working for you, baby.
2:16
Don't come over here and start losing your temperature now.
2:20
- No, it ain't.
2:24
Yep. - Hoe cakes are so good.
2:27
They were complimentary at the restaurant
2:28
for years, and years, and years.
2:30
And, oh, I put chicken salad
2:32
and put minna cheese on them.
2:33
- [Nita] Yes, you did.
2:35
You know you liked them hoe cakes with it.
2:37
- And cheese biscuits too?
2:39
And Nita was just telling me about mayonnaise biscuits.
2:43
She makes mayonnaise biscuits.
2:45
And she learned, I didn't realize this,
2:47
she learned on one of mama's cruises when we went down,
2:49
we were in The Bahamas,
2:51
and they had a big food festival down there.
2:52
So there's all kinds of food.
2:54
And Nita saw a woman making mayonnaise biscuits down there,
2:58
and Jelly told mom,
3:00
she said, "I'm gonna start cooking these. These are good."
3:03
And Mama said, "You think you can remember?"
3:05
And she got home and flat hadn't stopped making them
3:07
for the last 15 years.
3:09
They're so good.
3:11
See Jelly cooks like
3:12
all of us do. - A little bit more.
3:14
A little bit more.
3:15
- Just by look and feel.
3:17
That's how she cooks. - Okay.
3:19
- [Jamie] So you add a little bit, then you stir it up.
3:21
We want to get the right consistency.
3:23
This is not as thick as a pancake,
3:25
but it's not as loose as a lace cornbread.
3:27
It's the perfect spot right in between.
3:30
Ooh, I cannot wait to eat them.
3:31
- [Nita] I know you can't.
3:33
- And I'm gonna go ahead- - You sure enough did it.
3:35
- [Jamie] Get some butter meltin' on our pan here
3:37
where we're going
3:38
to pan fry 'em. (pan sizzles)
3:43
- Yes, Lord.
3:44
- I know Rita Marie wishing she was here with us.
3:46
- Oh, yes. I know she-
3:48
- Nita's sister Rita Marie, she's down in Jesup, Georgia.
3:52
She is gonna be so jealous
3:53
that she's not here - Yes, she is.
3:54
- eating cornbread with us.
3:55
- Yes, she...
4:00
- All right, I got you ready to go over here, babes.
4:05
Oh, all we need is some collard greens
4:06
and we - Yeah.
4:07
- in business. - Yeah.
4:10
- Well, cane syrup.
4:11
I know I got cane syrup around here somewhere.
4:15
- I'm gonna put a little bit more meal.
4:19
- Little bit more meal?
4:20
- I don't want it to be loose too much.
4:23
- You do whatever you gotta do to make it delish.
4:26
- Making it delish.
4:28
- [Jamie] I think what we'll do is we'll throw our recipe
4:30
that mom has in her book for the hoe cakes, y'all,
4:32
so you can follow the recipe.
4:34
These are really so good. - Mm-hmm.
4:40
- I'm so happy to have you out here.
4:41
- Yeah, it is.
4:42
I was waiting to, I said, "I'm going to get up there."
4:46
Got up at six o'clock. Got in the shower.
4:48
- Yep. I knew you was ready.
4:50
You called me at 7:30. - Yeah.
4:52
- We'll take a quick break.
4:53
We're right here
4:54
while Nita's wrestling this thing under control.
4:56
Y'all stick around. You do not want to miss this.
4:58
See you in a minute.
4:59
All right, here we go.
5:01
Jelly likes to use ice cream scoop
5:03
to measure out her serving sizes on here.
5:07
This is a old hoe cake pan that's going right here.
5:10
Look at this pan.
5:13
Something that mama had.
5:14
So we'll probably cook four of these
5:16
right now. - Mm-hmm.
5:20
- [Jamie] We stopped doing hoe cakes at the restaurant
5:22
a good while ago,
5:22
but we brought 'em back for The Chicken Box,
5:24
didn't we? - Yeah.
5:26
- [Jamie] So for two years at The Chicken Box,
5:28
you could come in and get some hoe cakes.
5:30
And people lined up and came in
5:31
for that cornbread. - Yes. Yes, they did.
5:33
- Oh. - Yes, they did. Cra' did.
5:37
- Is that one of your favorite things
5:38
that you made while you were down there?
5:39
- Mm-hmm.
5:41
I love it because they preach, "You made some hoe cakes?"
5:45
I said, "Yeah, I'm bring you some." (chuckles)
5:48
- It'd be funny for me
5:49
when you'd walk through the dining room,
5:50
and people would say- - Yeah.
5:52
- "What is that? I don't want that."
5:53
- And then you'd say, "Taste it."
5:54
And then what would happen?
5:55
- They'd be, "Ah, man, they good!
5:59
Can I have another one?"
6:00
- "Can I have some more?"
6:00
- I sa', "But you done still,
6:03
you saying, no, you don't like it."
6:07
- That's why you should try eggs again
6:10
'cause you quit eating - No, no, no.
6:11
- when you was as a kid.
6:12
Just like a hoe cake,
6:13
it's the same thing. - I don't care. I don't care.
6:16
I don't care.
6:16
- You don't know what you're missing.
6:17
- Well, I don't know what I'm missing.
6:19
- Your hardheaded self. - Mm-hmm.
6:21
- All right, we're gonna let these cook
6:23
for a few minutes. - Yep.
6:25
- Not going to fool with 'em.
6:28
- Let 'em alone. Let 'em cook.
6:34
- You think they're about done?
6:35
- [Nita] They're about done.
6:36
- [Jamie] Let me get that cane syrup.
6:38
- It's in there (indistinct).
6:40
- [Jamie] You know what I'm going for.
6:41
- Just...
6:44
I just squished it (indistinct) bottom.
6:47
- [Person] (indistinct) recipe.
6:51
- What you think?
6:53
You gonna call 'em done?
6:54
- They done,
6:55
but I wish I could get 'em around the edge but that's okay.
6:58
- That's okay.
6:59
Just don't burn 'em. - Mm-mm.
7:03
- Does that tell you who's gonna complain
7:04
about 'em being burned?
7:05
- You. - Nobody.
7:07
- You know me to complain very much?
7:10
- Not very much.
7:11
- Mm, here, I'm gonna get a different plate.
7:16
You want to plate, baby,
7:17
or you just gonna pick it up?
7:18
You go eat one?
7:18
- Not now. - Okay.
7:20
- All right, y'all.
7:23
You can eat 'em a hundred different ways.
7:25
- (chuckles) Yes.
7:25
- But there's only one good way to eat 'em.
7:27
Get you some sweet cane syrup.
7:30
- Yes, sir. You used every time turn right here.
7:33
"Jelly, I want to eat me a hoe cake."
7:35
I don't care, what you telling me for?
7:37
Brother, go ahead and eat it.
7:39
- Because you were forever fussing about me
7:41
(phone chimes) not eating enough.
7:42
- Yeah. - Look,
7:43
people are already calling
7:44
'cause they heard about the hoe cakes.
7:46

7:46
I love you, baby. Thanks.

8:01
- Every time. - It's good.
8:02
(phone chimes)
8:04
We were right.
8:04
- We got to go
8:05
because I'm about to get elbow deep in these hoe cakes.
8:07
- It's my phone.
