Ingredients

Scale

Corn Mixture

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.75 oz) creamed corn

Batter

  • 1 box (8.5 oz) corn muffin mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Combine Corns: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained whole kernel corn with the creamed corn, mixing gently to blend thoroughly.
  3. Add Corn Muffin Mix: Stir the corn muffin mix into the corn mixture carefully without overmixing to maintain a light texture.
  4. Beat Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become fluffy and slightly thickened. This helps incorporate air for a better pudding consistency.
  5. Mix Sour Cream and Butter: Combine the sour cream with the melted butter until fully blended, which adds richness and moisture to the pudding.
  6. Add Sugar and Salt: Add the sugar and salt to the sour cream and butter mixture, stirring to dissolve the sugar and distribute seasoning evenly.
  7. Combine All Ingredients: Gently fold the egg mixture and the sour cream mixture into the corn mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing to prevent a tough pudding.
  8. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula for uniform baking.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the pudding is golden brown and set. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, which helps it to set and enhances the flavors.

Notes

  • Use gentle folding techniques when combining ingredients to avoid a dense, tough pudding texture.
  • Do not add excess liquid as it may make the pudding watery and affect the final consistency.
  • Using an oven thermometer ensures the temperature is accurate for perfect baking results.
  • Allow the corn pudding to cool slightly before serving to help it set up and improve slicing.
  • This recipe yields 10 servings, making it perfect for family dinners or holiday meals.
