Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
- 1 cup diced canned mild or medium green chiles
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish generously with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until slightly frothy. Add milk, sour cream, and melted butter; whisk until smooth.
- Stir in corn kernels and diced green chiles. For a smoother texture, pulse corn and chiles briefly in a food processor before adding.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the surface.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the pudding puffs slightly and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pudding rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to set and firm up.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Melted butter blends better than softened butter. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pudding light. Adjust baking time based on your oven and start checking at 40 minutes. Let pudding rest before slicing for best results. For a smoky flavor, roast fresh corn before mixing. Substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk/sour cream for dietary needs.
