Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh corn instead of canned, or even a mix of both. You can substitute half of the milk with cream for a creamier pudding. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, try using a sugar substitute suitable for baking. Make sure to blend the ingredients well to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm as a comforting side dish with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. This corn pudding also pairs beautifully with Barbara'S Banana Cake for dessert, creating a delightful meal. For added texture, consider garnishing with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese on top before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen corn instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen corn! Just make sure to thaw and drain it before adding it to the mixture. This will help maintain the right consistency of the pudding.

The pudding is done when it is firm to the touch and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If it jiggles too much, it may need additional baking time.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just pour it into the baking dish and bake it fresh when you're ready to serve.
