How To Make Corn Casserole Without Jiffy
1. Prep work: Preheat your oven to 350°F ( 180ºC) and either take out an 8x8 casserole dish or set 4 large ramekins on top of a baking sheet.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt with a whisk and set it aside.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg with cream, canned corn, and melted butter. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the bowl, whisking until you have a thick and smooth batter.
4. Bake and serve: Transfer the prepared corn pudding equally into the 4 ramekins - or casserole - dish and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve warm, and enjoy!
My Pro-Tips To Make The Best Recipe
- Use large ramekins for single-serve portions or a baking dish for a crowd.
- Use half whole kernel corn and half canned creamed corn for a balance of different textures.
- Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, green onions, or bacon for added flavor.
- You'll know the pudding is done baking when the edges are golden brown, and a knife inserted in the center of the casserole comes out clean.
My Recommendations For Storing The Casserole
In the fridge: Store the leftover corn casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5 days.
In the freezer: Allow the casserole to cool completely, then freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Keep the casserole in the ramekins - or baking dish - and heat it in the oven for about 10-12 minutes at 350°F. Microwave individual portions in 30-second intervals until reheated.
