Corn Pudding Tue, 10/4/05 5:20 PM (permalink)
A few years ago, Jane and Michael Stern published a recipe for their favorite corn pudding in a local Connecticut newspaper. It included frozen corn and canned creamed corn, heavy cream, butter, eggs, flour, cayenne, sugar, etc. I have lost the recipe and it is a family favorite. Does anyone have a copy?

    No copy. Here is something similar:

    Ingredients

    1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    3 tablespoons dried fine breadcrumbs
    4 ears of fresh corn
    2 teaspoons salt
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    1/2 cup chopped bacon, or ham
    1 cup chopped onions
    1/2 cup chopped green or red bell peppers
    1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
    2 cups heavy cream
    1 cup milk
    6 large eggs
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
    1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square casserole dish with 1 teaspoon of the butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly on the bottom and sides of the dish, and set aside.
    Cut the corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the top of the kernels and then cutting across a second time to release the milk from the corn. (There may not be any milk, but that is okay.) Scrape the cob once or twice to extract any remaining milk. You should have about 2 cups of corn with milk.

    Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the bacon and sauté for about 4 minutes, or until slightly crisp. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook for 3 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Add the garlic (optional), and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

    Combine the cream, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl, and beat with a wire whisk until the mixture is frothy. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, nutmeg, and cheese. Add to the corn mixture and mix well. Add the cornmeal and mix well. Pour into the prepared dish and bake for about 1 hour, or until golden.

    Serve immediately.

    Yield: 8 servings

      This is a much simpler recipe. It's old family, handed down by my husband's grandmother. The best I've ever eaten.

      6-8 ears white corn
      1/4 cup sugar
      3 eggs
      1 1/2 cups whole milk
      1 Tablespoon flour
      some butter

      Cut half way through corn kernels,then scrape ears with the back of the knife. Mix all other ingredients except butter with the corn. pour into casserole dish, dot with butter and bake at 350 for about an hour. Pudding will be set and beginning to lightly brown. Yum!

        I think this is the recipe that you are looking for.

        Corn Pudding

        2 15 oz. cans creamed corn
        2 10 oz. packages frozen corn niblets
        1/2 cup flour
        1 tsp salt
        4 eggs, beaten
        1 cup cream
        1/2 cup butter
        2 Tablespoons sugar
        3/4 tsp cinnamon

        Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients , except sugar and cinnamon amd pour into greased 9 by 12 inch casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 35 minutes. MIx the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle
        over top. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes more.

        This recipe was published in the Daytona newspaper quite a few years ago. It was "A Taste Of America" column by Jane and Michael Stern.
        The article says that they came up with this version of corn pudding after having enjoyed it so much at a place called The Virgina House in Lexington, VA.

          This is it!!! The only difference is mine had a pinch of cayenne instead of cinnamon, and sugar is mixed in with other ingredients. I use half and half and a little less butter but it is still wonderful.
          Great dish for Thanksgiving and other family gatherings and the kids just love it.

            I did the same this year using peaches and creme corn and did not have to use any sugar at all. It was super.

              these sound great, but should they be sweetened? I don't really like sweet cornbread, so I'm not sure about the amount of sugar in some of these recipes.

                It's really a matter of taste. I too hate sweet CB; however others have differing opinions. As far as "sugar" goes, be thankful that it is indeed sugar & not HFCS (gag). You can also see that some of these recipes depend upon processed vegetables (corn). That alone tells me that there may be unwanted ingredients present as opposed to using fresh product. Of course, all of this IMO.

                  I'm Southern, so mine might be too sweet to suit you, but we like it.

                  CORN PUDDING
                  1 can cream-style corn
                  1 can regular corn, drained
                  2 large eggs
                  2 teaspoons sugar
                  1/2 teaspoon salt
                  Pepper to taste
                  About 1/3 cup half and half
                  1 teaspoon baking powder
                  2 tablespoons butter
                  2 tablespoons flour

                  Melt butter, add flour, then add the other ingredients and mix until smooth, adding baking powder last (it will make the mixture kind of foam up). Pour into a buttered casserole (love my Polish pottery for this recipe) and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, until the corn pudding has set up and is nicely browned on top. Yummy!

                    This is the Stern's original corn pudding recipe. I've used it for years.

                    2 eggs beaten
                    1/2 stick butter melted
                    1/2 cup heavy cream
                    1/2 ts salt
                    1/6 cup sugar
                    1/4 cup flour
                    pinch cayenne
                    1 can creamed corn (not salt free)
                    1 box frozen corn niblets, semi thawed & drained

                    Combine all ingreadients and bake in pyrex dish for 1 hr at 350 degrees. Let rest 15 before serving.
