Corn Mixture
- 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (14.75 oz) creamed corn
Cornbread Base
- 1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the corn pudding.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Thoroughly grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and help with browning.
- Combine Corns: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and the creamed corn to form the base mixture.
- Add Corn Muffin Mix: Stir the corn muffin mix into the corn mixture until evenly distributed.
- Beat Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy to incorporate air and improve texture.
- Mix Sour Cream and Butter: In another bowl, combine the sour cream with the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
- Add Sugar and Salt: Add the sugar and salt to the sour cream and butter mixture, mixing well to ensure even seasoning and sweetness.
- Combine All Ingredients: Pour the beaten eggs and sour cream mixture into the corn and muffin mix. Stir everything until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can affect texture.
- Pour Batter Into Dish: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top gently.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the pudding; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Let the corn pudding cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm, allowing it to set for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the whole kernel corn well to avoid excess liquid in the pudding.
- Use fresh eggs for better fluffiness and structure.
- The sugar amount can be adjusted to taste; reduce for a less sweet version.
- Allowing the pudding to cool slightly helps it hold together when serving.
- This recipe can be prepared a day ahead and reheated before serving.
