Take one-half gallon of white corn, shelled; put into a kettle sufficient to hold about two gallons of water, add one tablespoonful of lye potash, put Settle on stove and boll about one hour and a half, or until the water is thick and the skin is coming off the corn; now drain and wash in several waters, rubbing the com hard between the hands; put plenty of water in it and set back on stove to boil; in about an hour change the water again and wash, it usually requires eight hours to cook hominy. The amount will make five quarts of hominy.
