Texas Corn Pudding
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/8 ounces)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 3 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears), divided
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups), divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
Steps
- Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on the center rack of oven, and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Meanwhile, place eggs, sour cream, cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, granulated garlic, and 2 1/2 cups corn kernels in a blender. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in 1 cup cheddar cheese and remaining 1 cup corn kernels until well combined.
- Carefully remove skillet from oven; add butter, swirling skillet until butter is melted. Working quickly, pour batter into hot skillet. (Do not stir.) Top with jalapeño slices and remaining 1/2 cup cheddar.
- Bake until edges are lightly browned and pudding is fully set (an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pudding should read 165°F), about 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
