What each ingredient does
- Hominy
- Its corn starch thickens as it cooks, giving the pudding its body and setting structure.
The step that matters
Cook over heat, stirring until thick. Starch in the hominy thickens as it heats and can scorch on the base of the pan. Constant stirring spreads the heat evenly and prevents lumps and burnt flavour.
