Recipe - Owendaw Corn Bread

1 cup Cooked hominy
2 tablespoon Butter
2 Eggs
1 cup Milk
One half cup Cornmeal
One half teaspoon Salt

Hominy gives this bread it's 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.
