Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream-style corn and the drained whole kernel corn.
- Whisk in the milk and the melted butter until they are fully incorporated.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently whisk in the lightly beaten eggs until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared casserole dish.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center should be set like a custard.
- Let the **baked corn pudding** rest for 10 minutes before serving this **comfort food side**.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the milk with heavy cream.
- If you want a slightly sweeter dish, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. This makes it a true **sweet corn pudding recipe**.
- This recipe is easy to double for large potlucks; use a 9×13 inch baking dish instead.
- This **classic homemade pudding** pairs well with roasted meats.
