Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the pan
2 cups 2-percent or whole milk
1 cup very fine yellow whole-grain cornmeal
Scraped kernels from 2 ears fresh sweet corn (about 1 cup)

Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Yield Makes 8 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds frozen corn kernels, thawed
Whole milk as needed (about 1 cup)
6 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Chihuahua,* Monterey Jack, or Cheddar cheese
1 poblano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch strips
Half of a red bell pepper, cut into strips
*Chihuahua, a white cow's-milk cheese, also known as asadero or Oaxaca cheese, becomes soft and stringy when heated and is therefore good for melting. An unaged Monterey Jack is a good substitute.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and set aside. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, puree the corn with only enough milk to make a smooth puree, not to exceed 1 cup. With the machine running, add egg yolks, one at a time, and process 30 seconds after each addition. With the machine running, add the sugar a little at a time and continue processing until mixture is lighter in color and sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add butter and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder; fold into corn mixture. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and fold into corn mixture, alternating with the shredded cheese. Pour into the prepared baking dish and garnish with strips of chile and red bell pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Fresh corn is the key to this recipe, so use it when it's in season for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but adjust the amount of milk you add accordingly as canned and frozen corn may have more moisture than fresh corn.
  • Use a heavy skillet or Dutch oven to cook the corn pudding, as it will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent burning.
  • Don't overcook the corn pudding, as it will become dry and tough. It's done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the corn pudding hot, warm, or at room temperature. It's a great side dish for any meal, especially summer cookouts and potlucks.

Conclusion:

Virginia's Corn Pudding is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and loved by all. With its creamy texture, sweet corn flavor, and hint of spice, it's a perfect side dish for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a family dinner, a potluck, or a summer cookout, this corn pudding is sure to be a hit.
