Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
If using fresh corn, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Measure out 3 cups of kernels and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and eggs until fully combined.
Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the liquid mixture. Whisk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
Fold in the corn kernels gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
Remove the corn pudding from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help it firm up slightly.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, poultry, or other holiday favorites.
