Cornbread Pudding

This rich and flavorful cornbread pudding is similar to a spoonbread. If you’re from the South please feel free to chime in on the comments and describe how amazing the stuff is.

Imagine a dry crumbly flavorless piece of cornbread. This is it’s polar opposite! Moist, creamy and custard-like. Doesn’t have to be difficult to be delicious.

A Few Tips

• You can mix this batter up a few hours ahead of time and pop into the oven when space frees up if it’s a busy holiday bake day.
• This recipe begs to be modified, it’s about foolproof so add in diced ham, spicier chilis, or more cheese if desired!
• I PROMISE you will want to make a double batch of this. People inhale these and they’re gone in a moment.
• Hate doing dishes? You can mix the whole thing in a baking dish. Just make sure to use a spatula to scrape the bottom down and ensure there aren’t any unmixed pockets hanging around.

I Hate Canned Foods! How Can I Make This From Scratch??

Substitute for the whole kernel corn:

• Boil several ears of corn in until the color brightens. Heat from the boiling water breaks down the starch to sweeten the kernels.
• Cut the kernels off and set aside. Canned corn has a bit of salt added so feel free to sprinkle in some NaCl.

Substitute for the creamed corn:

• Take about two cups of cooked whole kernels, half a cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, a dash of pepper, 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 cup of milk, and a tablespoon of flour.
• Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat and whisk in butter, add remaining ingredients except corn and whisk to combine. Add the corn and stir until thickened.

Steps to Make This DELICIOUS Cornbread Pudding

1.) Preheat oven to 350F or 175C. Beat two eggs together in a bowl

2.) Deseed and finely dice 2-4 jalapeños depending on how much spice you’d like.

3.) Drain one 15oz can of whole kernel corn and transfer to large bowl.

4.) Pour eggs into corn.

5.) Add the box of cornmeal muffin and parmesan cheese.

6.) Add in the can or creamed corn.

7.) Pour in that MELTED BUTTER!

8.) Mix well.

9.) Transfer mix to an 9″ x 9″ baking dish and bake for about 80 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
