How To Make Corn Pudding
For this delicious corn side dish, you need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound frozen corn
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sour cream
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
Equipment

Directions
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine corn and ¼ cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until the corn is tender, about 7 minutes. Drain the corn in a colander.
Next, combine the heavy cream and 1 ½ cups corn in a blender and process until a coarse puree forms, about 30 seconds.
Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk sour cream, melted butter, egg, pureed corn mixture, and remaining corn together in a separate bowl. Whisk sour cream mixture into flour mixture until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
Bake the corn pudding casserole until the edges of the pudding are lightly browned and the top is slightly puffed, about 35 minutes. Let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
