Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend butter, sugar, flour, and salt.
- Add the eggs and beat well with a rotary beater or mixer on low.
- Stir in the corn and milk.
- If using frozen corn, chop it up a little first to release the milky juices.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. You can also substitute the sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños for a kick. When using frozen corn, allow it to thaw thoroughly to ensure even cooking and optimal flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Shakertown Corn Pudding warm as a side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. It pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad for a light meal. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside American recipes like grilled chicken or barbecue ribs. This dish also makes a delightful brunch item when paired with eggs and toast.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the corn pudding to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick snack.
