Instructions
- Beat eggs well in a mixing bowl.
- Add flour, sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt to the eggs and stir until combined.
- Drain the can of whole kernel corn and fold it into the egg mixture.
- Add milk to the mixture and stir well.
- Pour the mixture into a large oven dish.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour.
- During the last half hour of baking, stir from bottom up three times to prevent a crust from forming.
- Bake until the pudding has a bronzed, delicate crust.
- Optionally, stir in a can of chopped green chilies before baking for added flavor.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a can of chopped green chilies to the mixture before baking. If you're looking for a lighter version, you can substitute half of the milk with unsweetened almond milk or use whole wheat flour instead of regular flour. This Arizona Corn Pudding is also adaptable; try adding cheese for a savory twist or blend in some herbs for freshness.
