How to Make Traditional Hominy Bread

Traditional hominy bread makes a heartwarming snack and comforting dish served as a side dish or snack. Similar to cornbread, hominy bread is made with hominy grits, which are corn kernels without the hull or bran and germ.

Ingredients:

½ cup hominy grits

2 ½ cups water

½ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

2 eggs, beaten

2 cups milk

1 cup white cornmeal

Directions:

1. In the top of a double broiler, pour the hominy grits, water, and salt. Stir until the mixture comes to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes.

2. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 1 ½ quart baking dish; set aside.

3. To the hot hominy, add the butter, eggs, and 1 cup milk. Mix well. Add the cornmeal and 1 cup of milk, stirring well.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 45 min., or until the top is puffy. Serve with a spoon.
