Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) cream-style corn
- 1 box (8.5 ounces / 241 grams) corn muffin mix
Dairy and Wet Ingredients:
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the center of the oven for even cooking.
- Coat a 2-quart (1.9 liters) casserole dish with a light layer of softened butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend whole corn kernels, creamy corn puree, a whisked egg, melted butter, tangy sour cream, and corn muffin mix until the ingredients are uniformly incorporated.
- Gently transfer the corn mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, monitoring the consistency as cooking times may vary depending on dish depth.
- Test the corn pudding’s readiness by gently pressing the center – it should feel firm and set, with minimal wobbling, and display a golden-brown surface around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow the corn pudding to rest for 5-10 minutes, which helps it stabilize and makes serving easier.
Notes
- Prep ingredients at room temperature to ensure smooth blending and optimal texture.
- Drain corn kernels thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from weighing down the souffle.
- Gently fold ingredients to maintain the light, airy consistency crucial for a perfect corn souffle.
- Select a baking dish that allows even heat distribution for consistent cooking results.
- Test doneness by checking firmness and minimal jiggle around the 45-minute mark.
