Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (chopped, optional)
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter and set it aside.
If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it. If using canned corn, drain it thoroughly. Measure 2 cups of corn and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the Cheesy Corn Squares to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes, then cut into 9 squares.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
