Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a blender or food processor, blend the fresh corn kernels until smooth. You may need to work in batches to accommodate the volume of corn.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended corn with the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter. Stir well to combine.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until slightly thickened, and then add them to the corn mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the corn mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the pastel de elote to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream.
