The recipe I had came from a depression era cookbook. In those days things
were often baked instead of fried as people didn't always have the oil to
fry. I know that recipe contained egg but it might have only been to dip the
croquettes in prior to rolling in bread crumbs. I can't remember. Might have
been an egg mixed into the hominy as well. I gather that croquettes were
commonly eaten in those days and they were served as the dinner rather than
a side dish. It was a good way to incorporate a small amount of meat if that
was all that you had. Most of those recipes included instructions for both
frying and baking.
