HOMINY. Indian Corn Porridge. (American Recipe.) To make a soup-plate full of porridge, put 2\ pints of water and a teaspoonful of salt in a sauce- pan on the fire ; when it boils scatter in with one hand about a pint of the Indian corn meal, stirring all the time with the other ; let it boil for nearly half an hour ; stir all the time. It makes a substan- tial breakfast or supper if boiled in milk or broth instead of water. 3^ lbs. of the meal make porridge for ten persons. If cooked in either milk or water, cold milk should be eaten with it. Hominy. (American Recipe.) Hominy is made of the broken grain of the Indian corn. It should be soaked overnight in warm water, changed in the morning to clean cold water and boiled gently for an hour and a half. When cold, warm it over, eat with milk, molasses, bacon, salt, or alone. Observe : that Indian corn requires thorough cooking in all its preparations, as if not sufficiently boiled or baked it loses its flavour and becomes indi- gestible. Boiled Hominy. (American Recipe.)
