Ingredients

Scale
  • Kernels from 4 ears fresh yellow corn*
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 8 Tbsp. softened butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

  3. Meanwhile, in the pitcher of a blender add remaining corn, remaining 6 tablespoons of butter, cream, eggs, flour, salt, and sugar. Blend on high until corn is mostly pureed.

  5. Place baking dish in oven. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the corn pudding comes out clean.
  6. Remove baking dish from oven. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
