Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 can creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the two eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Add the entire box of Jiffy corn muffin mix to the beaten eggs. Stir until the mix is just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour in the can of creamed corn, stirring gently to combine with the muffin mix and eggs.
- Add the sour cream and melted butter to the mixture. Stir all ingredients until they are smooth and well blended, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
- Transfer the corn pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform cooking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the corn pudding rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the pudding to set and makes it easier to slice.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish, perfect alongside roasted meats or as a comforting holiday accompaniment.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs, sour cream, and butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better incorporation.
- Don't Overmix: When combining ingredients, stir just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense corn pudding.
- Grease Your Baking Dish Thoroughly: Use butter or cooking spray generously to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Check for Doneness: A golden-brown top and a clean toothpick inserted in the center indicate the corn pudding is perfectly baked.
- Let It Rest: Allowing the pudding to sit for 10 minutes after baking helps it set and makes slicing much easier.
- Optional Variations: Consider adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or some shredded cheese for extra richness.
- Storage: This dish can be refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
