Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ðF (218ðC).
  2. Grease a small loaf pan or pie plate thoroughly with shortening or oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the hominy, melted shortening, beaten eggs, and milk.
  4. Stir in the cornmeal, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
  5. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb moisture.
  6. Check consistency; if the batter is too thick, stir in an additional tablespoon of milk.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is a rich golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
