CORN PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place eggs, corn, sugar, flour and salt in a blender or food processor and pulse until mixture has a hash-like consistency (you should still have some whole corn kernels). Spoon into a 7-by-11 inch glass baking dish.
• Melt butter in microwave; set aside to cool.
• In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium-high heat until it begins to steam and show small bubbles, but isn't yet at a full boil (this is also referred to as "scalded" milk). Remove milk from heat and let cool slightly, then gently stir into pudding, mixing well.
• Pour melted butter evenly over top of pudding; don't stir!
• Place dish in a larger baking dish with a 1/2 to 1-inch gap between the sides of the two pans. Place on center rack in oven.
• Carefully pour hot water into the outer dish, until water reaches around halfway up the sides of the pudding dish.
• Bake for around 1 hour. For a more rustic texture, stir pudding from the bottom 2 to 3 times during baking. (Not stirring results in a smoother look and feel.) Pudding is done when set (it can still be a big wiggly in the center).
• Remove pudding from oven and water bath; let sit for around 5 minutes before serving. (If your pudding comes out watery or runny, see Tip below from my grandmother to fix.)

BAKED CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Special equipment: 8 by 8-inch casserole
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt butter and saute onions and jalapenos until tender, about 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat evenly, being sure to not burn the onions. Cook flour until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Whisk in milk and cheese and stir until melted, then remove from heat. Add the eggs to a small bowl, and stir in 1/4 cup of hot mixture to temper the eggs. Stir add the egg mixture into the pan, along with corn, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a buttered 8 by 8-inch casserole dish. In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle evenly over top of casserole, place in the oven and bake until custard sets and the top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.

"ALMOST FAMOUS" CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Whisk together the creamed corn, cornbread mix, eggs, corn kernels, sour cream and scallions in a large bowl. Melt the butter and mascarpone in a small saucepot over low heat, stirring occasionally. (Be careful not to simmer or the mixture will separate.) Pour the melted butter and mascarpone into the large bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
• Butter a large Dutch oven and pour the mixture in. Place over indirect heat, cover the grill and bake at 325 to 375 degrees F until the mixture is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Take off the grill and serve!
• (Alternatively, you can bake the corn pudding in a 350 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)

SOUTHERN CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the optional crushed crackers & mix well.
• Pour into a greased casserole dish & bake till the top is golden brown (approx 30 min).
• Top w/additional crushed crackers (as desired), allow to cool slightly & serve warm.
• NOTE: While not a part of the recipe, I think smoked pork chops would be another ideal main entree to serve w/this side-dish.

SWEET CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Combine the corn, milk, vanilla bean and seeds (if using) and salt in a medium saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Immediately reduce the heat to low, partly cover with a lid and gently simmer, stirring occasionally so the milk doesn't boil over, until the milk is fragrant with corn, about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the corn cobs and enjoy them later as a snack or with dinner, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You should have about 2 cups milk. If needed, add more milk.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and egg yolks. Add about 1/4 cup of the hot corn milk and whisk vigorously until smooth. Add this cornstarch mixture to the large pot of corn milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly until the pudding thickens, bubbles and coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes.
• If using vanilla extract, stir it in now; if you used vanilla bean, remove it. If you have any lumps, pass the pudding mixture through a sieve set over a bowl, discarding any solids.
• Spoon the pudding into individual bowls or cups and enjoy warm, or you can place a sheet of parchment paper directly over the surface of the pudding (so a skin doesn't form), cover and chill in the refrigerator to enjoy cold. The covered pudding will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
