Instructions
- 1If using leftover cereals, such as oatmeal, hominy, or cracked wheat, that are not already in a mold, allow them to cool. Then, mold the cereals into desired shapes (large or small) and serve cold with cream, milk, and sugar. This is especially refreshing in warm weather.
- 2For a savory option, cut cold hominy or mush into squares and fry in butter or oil until a crisp crust forms on both sides. Alternatively, roll hominy or farina into balls and fry until golden brown. Serve as a vegetable substitute or breakfast dish.
- 3Use any of the leftover cereals to make pancakes. Add a small amount of the cereal to your ordinary pancake batter for improved texture and flavor.
