Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) creamed corn
  • 1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs

Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the corn pudding.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Thoroughly grease your baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  3. Combine Corns: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn and creamed corn, mixing them evenly.
  4. Add Corn Muffin Mix: Incorporate the corn muffin mix into the corn mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Beat Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become fluffy, adding air for a lighter texture.
  6. Mix Sour Cream and Butter: In another bowl, blend the sour cream with melted butter until well combined.
  7. Add Sugar and Salt: Stir the sugar and salt into the sour cream and butter mixture to evenly distribute the sweetness and seasoning.
  8. Combine All Ingredients: Pour the beaten eggs and sour cream mixture into the corn mixture. Gently fold all ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  9. Pour Batter into Dish: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  11. Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the pudding; if it comes out clean, the pudding is fully baked.
  12. Cool and Serve: Allow the corn pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm to enjoy its creamy texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the whole kernel corn thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the pudding.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pudding light and tender.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • The pudding can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave for leftovers.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even heat distribution and best results.
