Ingredients

• 2 cups whole kernel corn (drained, if using canned)
• 2 cups creamed corn
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cups sugar
• 2 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish or casserole with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well blended.

Step 3

Add in the milk, melted butter, and salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the flour with a few tablespoons of the wet mixture to create a slurry. Whisk this slurry back into the main batter to ensure there are no lumps of flour.

Step 5

Stir in the whole kernel corn and creamed corn, mixing gently until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Season the mixture with ground black pepper and give it one final stir.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean when done.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy the creamy, slightly sweet flavors that represent classic Chesapeake Bay comfort food.
