Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 4 tablespoons ice water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup green onions (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour and cut it in using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
Transfer the dough to the pie pan and trim any excess overhang. Crimp the edges if desired.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Stir in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Butter Crust Corn Pie!
