What each ingredient does
- Hominy
- Forms the base of the dish, providing starchy body and most of the texture.
- Milk
- Adds moisture and creaminess, loosening the mashed hominy into a smooth consistency.
The step that matters
Stir constantly over low heat. Milk scorches easily on direct heat and the starches in the hominy can stick and burn. Constant stirring over low heat warms the mixture evenly and keeps it smooth.
