Corn Pudding for Thanksgiving

[DaisyM]

I've never made corn pudding before, but would like to add it to our Thanksgiving dinner. Could you offer a no fail and wonderful recipe? Thank you!

[Querencia]

My favorite: Thaw a bag of frozen corn then put it through the Cuisinart for just a few seconds, enough to break up the kernels but not puree the corn. Beat 2 eggs with a cup of milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter, and 1/4 cup Bisquick. Stir in the corn and an 9-oz bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Bake in a buttered casserole @ 350* until brown on top, about 45 minutes.

One sounds better then the next! I'm going to have fun trying them all before Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing these recipes.

Our family favorite is from Ina Garten, called Sagaponack Corn Pudding.

I agree with Suzanne, Ina Gartens is delish, something about the fresh basil and the cheese it always is a crowd pleaser. Juli

I almost forgot to, but just bought the corn yesterday at the farmstand and cut off kernals and froze for the pudding. I do a custardy one, and cook an hour in a water bath. Sweetened with Capt Morgan rum, or maple syrup if you like. It's an eastern Long Island version, if you want I can write out.

Coll please share recipe when you have a minute That sounds delicious Tx

Here it is, I was surprised to see all these recipes calling for a half cup of sugar. The corn is so sweet, I just use a tablespoon. But maybe because it's fresh corn (sort of).
It's pretty good if I do say so myself.

CUTCHOGUE CORN PUDDING

2 cups fresh corn kernals (for Thanksgiving, buy some Sept/Oct and freeze)
2 cups milk
2 Tbsp cornstarch
3 eggs, well beaten
1 tsp maple syrup or other sweetener
1 tsp salt
large dash of rum, preferably Capt Morgan spiced
melted butter to coat dish

Stir together: corn, milk cornstarch, eggs, syrup, and salt til well mixed. Wipe 1 1/2 qt pan with melted butter (I like to use an 8 or 9" round pyrex), then place in larger pan filled with 1 inch water. Bake 350 for one hour or until tests clean with knife.

That's it! Hope you like it.

Many thanks Coll. Cut pasted and printed...and Cutchogue according to Wiki is the sunniest part of NY State !! Didn't know that.....

Me neither, it sure wasn't this weekend! But nice nonetheless.

I had a great version a few years ago at the Shaker village in Canterbury NH, and recreated it at home. It was a savory bread pudding using cornbread. Sweat some shallots, onion, or scallions in butter until translucent, then stir in some corn kernels (fresh, frozen, canned - whatever). Make a custard with light cream or half&half and egg, S&P, combine with the onions and cubed cornbread, soak, then bake just like any standard bread pudding recipe.

[vafarmwife]

2 cans cream style corn
1 can whole kernal corn- drained very well
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1 cup cream
butter

Combine all ingredients. Pour into greased casserole dish and dot with butter. Bake at 350 until set- about 45 minutes.

This is a fantastic corn pudding recipe. A good combination of savory and sweet. I have made it quite a few time and I've always been happy with the results. I usually double the recipe and bake it in a 13x9 in baking dish for the Thanksgiving crowd. It will likely need more time in the oven than the recipe calls for. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...

Yum, leslie. Corn and chives love each other.

Yes, I've been making that one recently, too! It has more or less replaced our family's traditional version. I use half the sugar, though, since I find it to be quite sweet.

I think there are (at least) two distinct dishes called "corn pudding" out there, though-- the sturdier one with cornmeal and sometimes molasses (like an Indian pudding), and this savorier, more custardy kind. The corn chive pudding is the latter.
