Southern Corn Pudding
Cornmeal, creamed corn, and whole kernel corn are just a few of the corn-focused components used to make this homemade corn pudding, which is cooked like a casserole. Corn pudding is a classic of comfort food, especially in the American South, where it is highly favored. This exceptionally rich and aromatic corn pudding is also made without Jiffy Mix! You will like this meal, which is ideal for Sunday night supper or the holiday table since it is sweet, fluffy, and flavorful!
Yield: 6
Materials
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 15-ounce can cream-style corn
- 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, liquid drained
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- ⅓ cup pure honey
- 1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 ounces gruyère cheese or fontina, preferably hand-grated
Instructions
- Set an oven rack in the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray cooking spray on a sizable 9-by-9-inch baking dish (or any other big oven-safe baking dish) and put it aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, melted butter, honey, sour cream, creamed corn, and corn kernels in a large mixing dish. To fully blend, give the wet components a good whisking.
- Cornmeal, flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt should all be added. Toss the dry ingredients into the wet components with a rubber spatula until they are barely blended. Next, add the cheese to the batter and mix it in again until it's barely incorporated. Give the batter two to three minutes to rest. As soon as the baking powder starts to activate, you should notice the mixture become extremely frothy. Pour the batter into the baking dish that has been prepared, then level the batter with a spoon or an offset spatula.
- Bake the corn pudding for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top and edges are golden brown and the dish is mostly set. Give the corn pudding ten minutes or so to cool.
- Serve this traditional southern corn pudding by itself or with your preferred main course. If you'd like, we also like to add a thin layer of melted butter on the pudding's top for a little delectable bling. Have fun!
Notes
- Needs to avoid gluten? Replace the all-purpose flour with any gluten-free flour in a 1:1 ratio (Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour is our favorite!).
