Modern Corn Pudding

Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh or Frozen Corn Kernels (If using frozen, thaw completely.)
• 3 cups Whole Milk
• 3 Large Eggs (Lightly beaten)
• 0.5 cup Light Brown Sugar (Packed)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (Melted)
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• Heavy Cream (optional) (For serving)
• Maple Syrup (optional) (For serving)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with butter.
2. 2In a saucepan, scald the milk over medium heat (heat until small bubbles form around the edges, but do not boil). Pour the scalded milk over the corn kernels in a large bowl. Let stand for 1 hour to soften the corn.
3. 3After the corn has soaked, add the lightly beaten eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt to the corn and milk mixture. Stir well to combine.
4. 4Pour the corn mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
5. 5Let the corn pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with cream or maple syrup, if desired.
