SOUTHERN CORN PUDDING

Molly O'Neill is the Food Editor for the Grandparents.com website. She contributed this recipe, credited Nancy Newsom & I found it in the latest email sent to me by Grandparents.com. Molly is the former food columnist for *The New York Times Magazine* & author of 3 cookbooks. She edited the critically-acclaimed anthology *American Food Writing* & was the hostess of the PBS series *Great Food* . She & Nancy suggest that this could-not-be-easier-to-fix side-dish is ideal to accompany ham as the slight sweetness balances the saltiness of the ham nicely. There are several corn pudding recipes on Zaar, but I did not find this one. Enjoy !

Provided by Elle Simone Scott

Categories     Side     Cornmeal     Milk/Cream     Sour Cream     Cheese     Thanksgiving     Backyard BBQ     Juneteenth     Bake     Soy Free     Vegetarian     Corn

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for greasing
2 large eggs, beaten
⅓ cup sugar
½ cup whole milk
¼ cup heavy cream
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup coarse yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
⅛ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup chopped yellow onion
½ cup chopped celery
1 pound fresh corn kernels, cut from 4 cobs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup butter cracker crumbs, such as Ritz

Steps:

  • Set a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch casserole dish with butter, making sure to get in all the corners and sides of the dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined. Add the melted butter, milk, heavy cream, and sour cream and whisk to incorporate.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, paprika, and baking soda.
  • Using a spatula, fold the wet ingredients, 1 cup at a time, into the dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Fold in the onion, celery, corn, and cheese.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the cracker crumbs on top. Bake the pudding for 30 to 40 minutes, rotating halfway through, until lightly browned on top and the tip of a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cracker corn pudding the best flavor. If possible, use fresh corn kernels instead of canned or frozen corn.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Corn should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked corn will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Using a variety of cheeses will give your cracker corn pudding a more complex flavor. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also try using other cheeses such as Monterey Jack, Parmesan, or mozzarella.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy food, you can add a little bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder to your cracker corn pudding. This will give it a nice kick of heat.
  • Serve it warm: Cracker corn pudding is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.

Conclusion:

Cracker corn pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it at a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, your family and friends will love this classic Southern dish. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is sure to please everyone, give cracker corn pudding a try. You won't be disappointed!
