At 25 years old, I hadn’t even heard of corn pudding. It sounded similar to bread pudding (which I despise). But, when I sat down for the first Thanksgiving with my future in-laws, I was polite. I tried it.
Had Darryl and I never made it through that first year, I still would have been in love…with this dish!
Of course, I had to have the recipe as does anyone who tries this delectable treat among the potatoes and bird on the table. It’s THAT good!
Thankfully, my Mother-in-law was happy to share her Aunt Lorretta’s side dish with me and with permission, I can share it with all (4) of you!
The original recipe is very easy to make, putting all the ingredients in a baking dish and popping it in the oven, my from-scratch version is just as easy, but with a few measuring spoons instead of a box of mix.
So I’ll lay them both out for you:
Timeless Corn Pudding {from scratch with love }
Ingredients:
1/2 c. (one stick) butter
2 12 oz. bag frozen corn
1/2 c. sour cream
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 & 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. cornmeal
5 TBS. sugar
1 TBS baking powder
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350.*
- Grease 9 x 13 baking dish with butter (alternative options: coconut oil, vegetable shortening or cooking spray)
- Melt the stick of butter in a small sauce pan.
- Add 1/4 c. water and one bag of frozen corn to another saucepan and bring to a boil. let simmer 5 minutes. Using a stick blender, blend until creamy.
- Mix the first five ingredients together in the baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, stir together all dry ingredients.
- Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well
- Bake at 350* for one hour or until golden yellow.
- For a firmer top, broil low for a few minutes keeping watch not to burn.
- Serve hot and enjoy!

Not only is this recipe a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving plate, alongside the turkey and sweet potatoes, it’s also perfect for breakfast or to eat as a snack (which is what I’m doing right now). I strategically waited for the kids to go to bed before making this batch for the blog, so I can eat as much as I want. Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
