Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can yellow corn, drained
- 1 can cream-style corn
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained yellow corn and cream-style corn. Mix them thoroughly to create a uniform base for the pudding.
- Add milk and melted butter to the corn mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet corn mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the corn pudding rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows it to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm as a side dish, garnishing with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter—gentle folding prevents tough, dense pudding.
- For extra richness, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pudding rest after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
- For a crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Experiment with adding cheese, jalapeños, or bacon for unique flavor variations.
