Rice or Hominy Cakes. Maltese Cross
1 quart milk.
2 cups soft-boiled rice or hominy.
3 eggs, beaten light.
1 great spoonful melted butter or lard.
1 table-spoonful white sugar.
About one large cup of prepared flour—just enough to hold the mixture together.
A little salt.
Work the butter into the rice, then the sugar and salt;—the eggs, beating up very hard; lastly the milk and flour, alternately, until the batter is free from lumps of dry flour.
These are wholesome and delicious, and not less so if the batter be made a little thicker, and baked in muffin-rings.
