Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish and set aside.
If using frozen corn kernels, thaw them completely and pat dry. If using canned corn kernels, drain and rinse them before patting dry.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until combined, then stir in the milk and melted butter.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.
