Ingredients for Corn Pudding

• 5 large eggs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 (15.25 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained

How to Make Grandma’s Corn Pudding

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, sugar, and flour until smooth and lump-free.
3. Stir in the milk, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined.
4. Gently fold in the drained whole kernel corn and cream-style corn until evenly distributed.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
7. Let the pudding rest for about 10 minutes before slicing—this helps create clean, custardy squares.
