These hominy cakes are a great way to use up leftover hominy. I usually make a big pot of hominy on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make these cakes during the week.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can add different ingredients to the batter to change up the flavor. I've tried adding cheese, bacon, and even diced tomatoes.

These hominy cakes are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love them and they don't even realize they're eating hominy.

These hominy cakes are a great side dish for any meal. I especially like them with fried chicken or catfish.

I'm not a big fan of hominy, but I really enjoyed these cakes. The cornmeal and flour help to balance out the flavor of the hominy.

I added some diced jalapenos to my batter for a little bit of heat. They turned out so good!

These hominy cakes were a hit at our family gathering! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious corn flavor.
