Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs in a bowl. Add flour, sugar, honey, and salt to taste. Mix well.
- Add creamed corn and milk to the mixture. Stir until combined.
- Dot the mixture with small pieces of butter.
- Place the dish in a pan of water and bake at 325°F for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. If you don’t have honey, maple syrup can be a lovely alternative. To enhance flavor, add a dash of black pepper or some chopped green onions. Ensure the butter is evenly distributed for even browning. This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Grammy's Corn Pudding alongside roasted chicken or grilled vegetables for a delightful meal. It pairs beautifully with Scalloped Succotash for a comforting vegetable side. Sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top for added color and flavor just before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 20 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions for quicker reheating, but the oven will maintain its texture better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen corn instead of creamed corn?
While creamed corn provides a creamy base, you can use thawed frozen corn. Just blend it with some milk or cream to achieve a similar consistency. Adjust the seasoning as needed since frozen corn is less sweet than creamed corn.
Is this dish suitable for a vegetarian diet?
Yes, Grammy's Corn Pudding is vegetarian-friendly since it contains no meat products. It’s a great addition to any vegetarian meal and can be served as a main or side dish. Just make sure to use butter instead of any animal-based fats.
Can I make this dish dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the milk with a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk, and use a dairy-free butter substitute. This will keep the texture intact while accommodating those who are lactose intolerant or following a dairy-free diet.
