Learn to make corn pudding at home with this recipe
Corn pudding is a classic American dish with its roots in Native American cuisine. It's a delicious and creamy blend of sweet corn, water, savory crackers, and various thickening agents, serving as a staple for several people in the southern United States of America. Today, let's help you learn how to cook this offering using a simple recipe.
Step 1: Gather the following ingredients
To make this delightful corn pudding, you will need the following ingredients: 28 gm of cream-style corn, one egg, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of butter, 56 gm of reduced-fat cream cheese, 12 savory crackers of any brand you prefer, and ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese (optional). Make sure you have everything ready before starting the cooking process.
Step 2: Mix and melt for perfection
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Celsius and spray a small casserole dish with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, beat the egg and stir in sugar and corn. Melt the butter and cream cheese in a microwave for 30 seconds, then stir them into the corn mixture to create a smooth and creamy base for your pudding.
Step 3: Add crunch and bake
The next step is to crush the crackers and add them to the corn mixture, stirring well to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired. Once you are done, bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pudding is bubbly and beginning to brown on top.
Step 4: Serve warm and enjoy
Once your corn pudding is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Now transfer it to a bowl and for an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika. Serve warm as a delicious side dish at your next family gathering or holiday feast. Enjoy!
