Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels from 4–5 ears, or use thawed frozen corn
  • 1 can creamed corn
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half for lighter version
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free blend
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix Cream Base: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, melted butter, and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add Corn: Fold in fresh corn kernels and creamed corn until evenly distributed.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until combined—do not overmix.
  5. Bake: Pour mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center jiggles slightly.
  6. Rest and Serve: Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half the heavy cream with Greek yogurt or use coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Serve warm alongside roasted meats, barbecue, or holiday entrees for the ultimate Southern comfort experience.
