Creamy Corn Pudding

Ingredients

Corn kernels

3 cups, fresh or frozen

Milk

1 cup

Eggs

3 large, beaten

Unsalted butter

1/4 cup, melted

Granulated sugar

1/4 cup

Cornmeal

1/2 cup

All-purpose flour

1/4 cup

Baking powder

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and melted butter until well combined and creamy.
3. Pour in the milk, then gently fold in the corn kernels, mixing until just combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until evenly blended.
5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth and cohesive batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
8. Allow the pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving, which enhances both flavor and texture.
