Corn Pudding

[heart_this] · Oct 4, 2008 · 74 Comments

Corn Pudding

When I was a kid I was not too thrilled with puddings and just having the word pudding in the name was enough for me to lose interest. Now a days I have been enjoying exploring the world of puddings and when I came across the concept of a corn pudding I knew that I would just have to try it. I filed the bookmark away with all of the other corn recipes that were just waiting for corn season and I got the chance to make it just before I left on vacation. I found a lot of corn pudding recipes that called for canned corn so I guess I did not need to wait until corn season but since I had, I looked for a recipe that used fresh corn. I found a simple and tasty sounding recipe for corn pudding on A Yankee in a Southern Kitchen . Since I was not too familiar with pudding recipes I left it pretty much as it was, though since I was leaving on vacation later in the week I cut the recipe in half so that I would be able to finish it before going. The recipe below made enough for two individual sized servings. Based on the recipe it sounded pretty much like a custard with corn and that is exactly what it turned out to be. Given that I really like corn and custard the combination of the two was wonderful. The first night I enjoyed it warm from the oven and the second night I enjoyed it cool from the refrigerator. I am glad that I tried the corn pudding and I am looking forward to making it again.

    We ate out last night and I asked my husband if we could order a side of corn pudding. He had no clue what it was! Now I’ll have to try making it so I can convince him we should order it next time.

    I have never been too thrilled with the whole idea of pudding either. I would choose a chocolate gateau over a chocolate pudding any day. But it is nice to know that individual tastes do change over time! That photo looks like I could sink my teeth right into it!

    I wonder if this would work with milk instead of cream. Not because I think milk is healthier or anything, but because I don’t want to make an extra trip to the store for cream.

    I think a little cheese on top and run under the broiler might be good, too. Or a little bacon!

    Kevin, this recipe looks good but if you have a chance do some research on Indian or Mexican Corn Pudding. Usually a spice or pepper (like a roasted poblano) is added and that brings a unique complexity to the dish (if you like that kind of thing…).

    Corn pudding is a favorite dish of mine but it’s way too high in carbs for me to eat it often. About every five years I make a small amount and eat just a few bites of it. However, I agree with Dana McCauley about the cheese. I add cheese to my corn pudding but I’ll try your recipe next time as it sounds just scrumptious.

    I LOVE this recipe. I have made it a few times, and like it more every time. I was originally unsure about the nutmeg, but it is perfect – don't skimp on it! I also add in a tablespoon or so of coarse cornmeal to give the pudding a bit more body. Thanks so much for the share, (and the middle of the night trip to the fridge snack).

    Adding sugar to sweetcorn is guilding the lily. Unless you have a sweet tooth leave out the sugar in dishes like this. It masks the subtlety of the pudding.
