Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned and drained, or thawed frozen)
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Drain canned corn or thaw frozen kernels. Lightly sauté the corn in butter over medium heat until fragrant and slightly caramelized to enhance sweetness and aroma.
  2. Mix the Custard Base: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sautéed corn into the custard base. Gradually stir in the flour or cornmeal until the mixture thickens to the right consistency.
  4. Bake the Pudding: Pour the batter into a buttered baking dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is golden on top, set, and has a slight jiggle in the center.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to scoop and enhancing flavor before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Do not overbake to avoid drying out; watch closely near the end of baking.
  • Butter both the baking dish and the top of the pudding for easy serving and a golden crust.
  • Whisk eggs thoroughly to create a smooth custard and prevent clumps.
  • Allow the pudding to rest briefly after baking for fullest flavor and best texture.
