Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using fresh corn instead of creamed corn; just blend it with some heavy cream. If you're short on eggs, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your corn, and feel free to experiment with spices like nutmeg for added flavor. This dish also fits well within American recipes.
