This corn pudding offers a cozy, creamy complement to savory dishes, with its lightly sweetened, custardy texture making it a popular choice on holiday tables. It pairs wonderfully with savory holiday spreads, balancing out rich flavors with its light, slightly sweet profile. Made with simple ingredients like sweet corn, butter, and eggs, it’s a nostalgic favorite that’s always a crowd-pleaser. Perfectly satisfying and easy to prepare, it’s a beloved addition to any feast!

Ingredients (for 8 servings):

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and sugar until smooth. Stir in milk and heavy cream.
3. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt, then stir until well combined.
4. Gently fold in the corn kernels until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 45-50 min. or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
6. Let the corn pudding cool for 5-10 min. before serving. Scoop out portions and enjoy warm.
