This is my attempt to recreate a corn pudding that my friend, Diane, always made for Thanksgiving. With a creamy pudding texture and a slight sweetness you will be serving both a side and a light dessert! Fresh corn is best but if you must use whole frozen niblets. For best results, frozen corn should be partially thawed. This is a back to basics corn pudding. Pure and simple indeed! Hope you will enjoy.

Ingredients For a pure and simple corn pudding

    butter, melted (you will also need butter to butter your serving dish)
  • 2 c
    fresh corn (about 3 ears) or frozen corn niblets-semi thawed (canned is not recommended)
  • 1/3 c
    white sugar
  • 1 tsp

  • 2 c

How To Make a pure and simple corn pudding

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 1 and 1/2 quart baking dish.
  • 2
    Use a corn stripper or knife to cut corn from the cob. Cut into mixing bowl. If using knife, cut from top of the ear downward. Don't cut too close to the cob; cut only half the kernel and then use back of knife to scrape off the rest of the corn.
  • 3
    Stir sugar and salt into corn. Mix beaten eggs and milk together and then stir into corn mixture. Add melted butter and mix well.
  • 4
    Spoon mixture into baking dish and sprinkle with nutmeg. Place baking dish in larger baking dish or roasting pan. Place in oven and pour HOT water (careful!) into larger dish until water comes halfway up the sides of smaller baking dish. This baking method will give the pudding its jiggly texture.
  • 5
    Bake 40-50 minutes until knife inserted into center of pudding comes out clean. Pudding will be set but still jiggly inside.
