Note

Ensure the hominy is drained well if using canned or pre-cooked hominy to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute butter for the shortening.

This bread is best served warm. It can be reheated in a toaster oven to restore crispness if leftovers are stored.
