SAVORY CORN & BASIL PUDDING
This is a lovely side dish that can be enjoyed for Brunch, lunch or dinner.. Great flavor. I increased the hot sauce from the original recipe so cut back if you like mild. This recipe with a few minor changes by me is from "Cooking Pleasures" the official magazine of the "Cooking Club of America"

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Generously butter a 4 cup low baking dish (gratin dish).
- Scrape your corn off the husks- To do this you run a paring knife down the middle of each row of corn, hold the ear over a large bowl and with the back of a spoon scrape the ear from top to bottom- this removes the juice and pulp but leaves the tough skins of the kernals behind.
- You should have apprx 1 1/2 cups of corn pulp.
- In a bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal& eggs until very smooth.
- Whisk in the egg yolks, milk, butter salt& hot pepper sauce.
- Stir in the basil& corn pulp.
- Pour into the baking dish bake 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
SAGAPONACK CORN PUDDING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the inside of an 8 to 10-cup baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a very large saute pan and saute the corn and onion over medium-high heat for 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and half-and-half in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal and then the ricotta. Add the basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked corn mixture and grated cheddar, and then pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle the top with more grated cheddar.
- Place the dish in a larger pan and fill the pan 1/2 way up the sides of the dish with hot tap water. Bake the pudding for 40 to 45 minutes until the top begins to brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
SWEET CORN PUDDING
This is corn pudding if it were a creamy dessert (versus the wonderful savory Southern casserole dish by the same name). Those who love majarete - a pudding of fresh corn, milk and cinnamon enjoyed in Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, among other parts of Latin America - may recognize this simple, elegant treat, here flavored with vanilla. A good amount of salt accentuates the corn's natural essence, which you can draw out very easily by simmering corn on the cob in milk. With this recipe, you get two goodies in one: the sweet, golden pudding, plus a heap of milk-poached corn on the cob for snacking later. You can eat this as is, warm or chilled, or topped with a dollop of whipped cream.

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.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BASIL, ANCHOVY & SWEET CORN PUDDING
The quality of the fresh seafood is key in this lemony, piquant dish. April Bloomfield recommends seeking out day-boat scallops, caught by fishermen who return from a day at sea with supremely fresh scallops that haven't been treated with any kind of preservative. If you can't get the "just-caught" make sure they are of a coral-color instead of a milky-white. Chef Alice Bloomfield - From Pairing of the Day: July 2008, Published 2007. Wine Chardonnays from California's Carneros region are known for their lemon cream and fruit notes, a nice echo for these scallops. Two good Carneros bottlings are the melon-tinged 2005 St. Clement and the tropical-fruited 2005 Rombauer.

Steps:
- MAKE THE CORN PUDDING:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Butter four 1-cup ramekins.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the corn, milk and heavy cream and simmer over moderately high heat for 2 minutes.
- Puree half of the mixture in a blender.
- Return the puree to the saucepan.

- Gradually whisk in the corn mixture and bring to a boil, then simmer, whisking, for 1 minute; season with salt.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks.
- Let cool until warm, about 20 minutes.
- In a large, stainless steel bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until firm peaks form.
- Fold one-third of the beaten whites into the corn mixture, then fold in the remaining whites.
- Spoon the mixture into the ramekins.
- Set the ramekins in a small baking dish and carefully add enough water to the dish to reach one-third of the way up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until the puddings are just slightly jiggly in the center.
- MEANWHILE, PREPARE THE SCALLOPS:
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until smoking.
- Season the scallops with salt, & white pepper, add them to the skillet and cook over high heat until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.

- Add the anchovies to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until they dissolve, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and the water to the skillet and simmer until thickened, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the basil or Italian seasoning and any accumulated juices from the scallops.
- Season with salt & white pepper.
- Return the scallops to the skillet and keep warm.
- In a bowl, toss the pea shoots with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice; season with salt.

Tips:
- Fresh corn is key: Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned kernels, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pudding in a water bath: Baking the pudding in a water bath helps to prevent it from becoming dry and overcooked.
- Serve the pudding warm or at room temperature: Corn pudding is best served warm or at room temperature. You can also chill the pudding and serve it cold.

If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish, corn pudding is a great option. With its creamy texture, sweet corn flavor, and hint of basil, this pudding is sure to please everyone at your table.
