Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  2. 1 cup milk
  3. 1/2 cup sugar
  4. 3 eggs
  5. 1/2 cup butter, melted
  6. 1 cup cornmeal
  7. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  8. Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, milk, sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Mix until you have a consistent, creamy batter.
  5. Pour the corn pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform cooking.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the corn pudding rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the pudding to set and makes it easier to slice.
  8. Serve warm as a side dish, garnishing with fresh herbs or a pat of butter if desired.

Tips

  1. Use fresh corn kernels when possible for the most vibrant flavor, but high-quality frozen corn works excellently too.
  2. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
  3. Don't overmix the batter - combine just until ingredients are incorporated to keep the pudding tender.
  4. For extra richness, consider using whole milk or even half-and-half instead of regular milk.
  5. Check the pudding early - ovens can vary, so start checking around 35 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  6. Let the pudding rest after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
  7. For a crispy top, you can broil the pudding for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
