Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn or frozen, thawed)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 4 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

If using fresh corn, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Measure out 3 cups of kernels and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 4

Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the liquid mixture. Whisk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

Step 5

Fold in the corn kernels gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is just set. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.

Step 8

Remove the corn pudding from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help it firm up slightly.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, poultry, or other holiday favorites.
