Ingredients

• 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

If using frozen corn kernels, thaw them completely and pat dry. If using canned corn kernels, drain and rinse them before patting dry.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until combined, then stir in the milk and melted butter.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.

Step 6

Gently fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.
