Savory Corn & Basil Pudding

"This is a lovely side dish that can be enjoyed for Brunch, lunch or dinner.. Great flavor. I increased the hot sauce from the original recipe so cut back if you like mild. This recipe with a few minor changes by me is from "Cooking Pleasures" the official magazine of the "Cooking Club of America""

directions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Generously butter a 4 cup low baking dish (gratin dish).
  • Scrape your corn off the husks- To do this you run a paring knife down the middle of each row of corn, hold the ear over a large bowl and with the back of a spoon scrape the ear from top to bottom- this removes the juice and pulp but leaves the tough skins of the kernals behind.
  • You should have apprx 1 1/2 cups of corn pulp.
  • In a bowl whisk the flour, cornmeal& eggs until very smooth.
  • Whisk in the egg yolks, milk, butter salt& hot pepper sauce.
  • Stir in the basil& corn pulp.
  • Pour into the baking dish bake 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

  1. We love corn pudding! Mine was (oops) borderline overcooked so be careful. This was delicious. Made for"I've saved all these recipes!" March Diabetic Tag.
     
  2. I took this lovely casserole to a friend's brunch this morning. Everyone asked for the recipe. I used fresh supersweet corn from the farm stand and fresh basil from my garden. Also used 1/2 tsp. salt (VS 1/4 tsp.) The fresh basil is what made this special.
     
  3. i love corn puddings and have several recipes posted, but i loved this one for the low fat content, ease of prep, and the short cooking time.i did use 1/4 c skim milk and 1/4 c half and half, otherwise followed the recipe adding extra hot sauce and a few twists of freshly ground nutmeg. i chopped up fresh basil from my garden, and totally forgot to add it, brain freeze! we really enjoyed this.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
