What each ingredient does
- Hominy
- Is the main ingredient, providing the bulk and corn flavor of the dish.
- Flour
- Optional coating that helps the slices brown and form a crisp surface when fried.
The step that matters
Fry the slices until golden brown. Frying at a steady heat browns the surface through the Maillard reaction, creating flavor and a crisp texture. Slices that are too wet or fried too briefly will stay pale and soft.
