Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces whole kernel corn, drained
- 29.5 ounces cream-style corn
- 5 eggs
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (204ºC) to prepare for baking the pudding.
- Combine corn and eggs: In a large bowl, mix together the drained whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and eggs until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Mix in the white sugar and cornstarch thoroughly to ensure even sweetness and thickening.
- Incorporate liquids: Stir in the whole milk and melted butter, combining all ingredients evenly to create a smooth batter.
- Prepare baking dish: Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then pour the corn pudding mixture into the dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes or until the top is slightly browned and the pudding is set in the center.
- Serve: Remove from oven, serve hot, and enjoy the creamy texture and sweet corn flavor of your homemade corn pudding!
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen corn if canned is unavailable, but drain well to avoid excess liquid.
- To reduce sweetness, decrease sugar slightly.
- The pudding will firm up more as it cools, making it easier to slice.
- For a richer flavor, use butter with a higher fat content or add a splash of heavy cream instead of milk.
- If desired, sprinkle a little paprika or chopped fresh herbs on top before baking for added color and flavor.
