Hominy
Large hominy, after it is washed; must be put to soak over night; if you
wish to have it for dinner, put it to boil early in the morning, or it
will not be done in time; eat it as a vegetable.
Small hominy will boil in an hour; it is very good at breakfast or
supper to eat with milk or butter, or to fry for dinner.
Both large and small hominy will keep good in a cool place several days.
Be careful that the vessel it is cooked in, is perfectly clean, or it
will darken the hominy.
To Fry Hominy.
Put a little lard in your frying-pan, and make it hot; mash and salt the
hominy; put it in, and cover it over with a plate; let it cook slowly
for half an hour, or longer if you like it very brown; when done, turn
it out in a plate. If you do not like it fried, mash it well, with a
little water, salt, and butter, and warm it in a frying-pan.
