Steps:

While whisking vigorously, slowly add about 1 cup hot milk mixture into eggs. Return saucepan to medium-low heat, and whisk egg mixture back into remaining milk mixture. Stir 1 minute (do not boil), then remove from heat and add corn, salt and pepper.

CHEF JOHN'S CREAMY CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone pad. Place an 8x11-inch baking dish on the pad.
• Place corn in a blender or food processor. Add maple syrup, eggs, milk, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, flour, and baking powder. Mix briefly with a spatula to push down the dry ingredients.
• Pulse mixture until it begins to come together. Then increase setting to high and blend until completely smooth, 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Add heavy cream and 2/3 of the melted butter. Whisk to thoroughly blend.
• Grease baking dish with the rest of the butter. Pour batter into baking dish. Bake in preheated oven on the baking sheet until pudding is browned and set, between 60 and 75 minutes depending on the size and shape of your baking dish.

JAMES BEARD'S YORKSHIRE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer (or a LOT of elbow grease) until they are light and fluffy.
• Gradually beat in the scant cup of flour and the milk.
• Add salt and about 2 tablespoons of beef drippings from the roast it is assumed you are also making.
• Heat a baking pan (like a cake pan) in the oven (set at 450F) until it is hot, then pour 1/4 cup of beef drippings into the bottom of the pan.
• Immediately pour in batter and bake for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350F and cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until Yorkshire is puffy and well browned.
• Cut into squares to serve.
• James Beard suggests making this after the roast comes out of the oven:"This can be done after the roast is removed from the oven and while it is standing to let the juices settle".

SWEET CORN AND RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine rice, skim milk, sugar and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until milk is nearly absorbed by rice (about 30 to 40 minutes). Remove from heat, and cool.
• Scrape kernels off corncobs, and run through a vegetable juicer. Run pulp through vegetable juicer again. Skim foam from top. You will need 2 cups of juice.
• Combine cooled rice and corn juice in a large saucepan. Heat over low flame, stirring occasionally until rice reaches the consistency of pudding (about 5 to 6 minutes). Be careful to keep rice moving, especially once the mixture becomes hot. Stir in ginger. Season with salt, and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight if desired.
• Meanwhile, heat riesling over low heat until it is too hot to touch, but not simmering. Pour over raisins, and let bloom for two hours. Drain, and combine with honey.
• To serve, spoon rice pudding into six chilled bowls, and top with raisins and toasted almonds.
