Instructions: Hominy gives this bread its distinctive flavor. Like all spoon breads, it should be eaten very hot with plenty of butter. Do try this one it will change your mind about grits.

This recipe orignally appeared in The Carolina Housewife. The last line in the recipe is taken verbatim from the orignal by the authors.

While hominy is hot, stir in the butter. Beat eggs until light and add to hominy, then add milk. Stir in cornmeal and salt. This makes a very thin batter. Pour into a deep, buttered pan and bake in a 375 degree F. oven for about 30 minutes (about 1 hour in a glass baking dish). This will serve 6.

When baked, it has the appearance of a baked batter pudding, and when rich and well mixed it has almost the delicacy of baked custard.
