    I love corn! It was that one veggie I would eat as a child and still one of my favorites. I even got the nick name cornbread head as a child! My Granny would make corn all the time and any recipe with it still reminders me of her.

    This Corn Pudding is a classic recipe that has been served for generations. It is a staple at my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Everyone loves the sweet and savory flavors of this corn pudding.

    This corn pudding is simple to make and tastes amazing. I hope it brings you good memories just like it does me!

    How to make Corn Pudding:

    This recipe is as simple as mixing and baking. Melt your butter and allow it to fully cool before mixing it in with your eggs. Once the butter is cooled mix in all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl and then add to your casserole dish. Bake then serve and enjoy.

    Ingredients:

    • Eggs
    • Butter (melted)
    • Sugar
    • Milk
    • Sweet Corn (drained)
    • Cream Style Corn
    • Cornstarch
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    Directions:

    Step one: Preheat oven and prepare a casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. 

    Step two: Place eggs in a large mixing bowl, whisk and set aside.

    Step three: In a separate bowl mix together butter and sugar. Allow to set for several minutes to cool then add in milk. Once butter is cooled add to eggs and whisk.

    • Tip: Do not add hot butter to your eggs! You might just end up with cooked scrambled eggs if you do!

    What you need:

    For this recipe I used a 2 quart casserole dish.

    What is Corn Pudding?

    Corn Pudding is a recipe custard style side dish. It originated here in the United States. It is different from a Corn Casserole as it is more thick and creamy, whereas a Corn Casserole is more light. This recipe hits all the marks of a classic comfort dish and it is sweet and savory.

    Tips and FAQs:

    • How do you serve corn pudding? We love to serve this warm right after it's been cooked.
    • What is corn pudding? Corn pudding is a staple side dish usually made in the south. It's a mix of creamy corn and corn kernels.
    • Watery corn pudding: To make sure your corn pudding is not watery you need to make sure you are drained well. If you still have issues with watery corn pudding you can toss your corn in a skillet first before using it to allow it cook off some liquid.
