Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider substituting half of the milk with sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you prefer a healthier option, use a low-fat margarine. Make sure to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to avoid clumps. If you're short on time, you can use a 15 oz. can of corn and reduce the baking time slightly. This pudding also works well with fresh corn in season.
