Baked Corn Pudding

                                                                             

This is my Baked Corn Pudding! The top photo one serving dished up. The second photo is the pudding in the baking dish.

Ingredients:

3 Large Ears of Corn Raw or Cooked and cut off the cob about 2 cups of corn. You may use frozen corn you thaw or even canned corn,  but right off the cob is best!

2 Eggs Beaten

1 Teaspoon of Salt

1 Tablespoon of Sugar 

2 Tablespoons Butter Melted

1 Tablespoon Flour

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

1 Cup Milk

Parsley to sprinkle on top

Grate the corn, I just put in my food processor and do it that way. In a large bowl add the grated corn , Salt, Sugar, and flour. Not beat in the melted butter, eggs, vanilla, & milk. Mix until well combined. Spray a baking dish, I use a 9 inch pie pan, with baking spray, then pour in the batter. Sprinkle top with the parsley. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. You want the top golden brown & the pudding to have set.  Serve piping hot. This is so good! Goes great with any meat or fish. Enjoy!
