Categories     side-dish

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)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil
Coarse kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, separated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a medium ovenproof casserole dish. Set aside.
  • Combine the milk and cornmeal in a medium saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking rapidly and constantly, until very, very thick, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the corn kernels, herbs and the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, stirring after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the warm cornmeal mixture.
  • Transfer the lightened cornmeal mixture to the prepared dish; smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake until puffed and golden-brown on top and the inside is firm but still moist, 20 to 35 minutes. Serve immediately.

SWEET CORN PUDDING



Sweet Corn Pudding image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ears fresh corn (about 2 pounds), shucked and cut into 3-inch pieces
3 cups/720 milliliters whole milk (see Tip), plus more as needed
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, seeds reserved, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/3 cup/66 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 large egg yolks

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.

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 !
