Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh hominy. If you can't find fresh hominy, you can use canned hominy, but be sure to rinse and drain it well before using.
Be sure to cook the hominy until it is tender. This will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes. You can check the hominy for doneness by piercing it with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the hominy is done.
Once the hominy is cooked, mash it with a potato masher or fork until it is smooth. You can also use a food processor to mash the hominy.
Be sure to add enough salt and pepper to the hominy cakes. This will help to bring out the flavor of the hominy.
Serve the hominy cakes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, syrup, or chili.

Conclusion:

Hominy cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover hominy. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious hominy cakes that the whole family will love.
