Street Corn Pudding

I don’t cook like this - using a mix and canned corn. But I wanted corn with our first summer lobster and it’s not available fresh. This was so easy and delicious. I didn’t add the sugar and am glad. So tasty although decadent.

I added half a diced red onion and two cloves of minced garlic, it was pretty delicious!

Can you make this ahead of time and reheat or make and not cook til the next day?

I used the honey corn bread mix instead of adding sugar because everyone's comments that it was too sweet. I also roasted and peeled four poblanos and added a teaspoon of smoked paprika and a couple teaspoons (measure with your heart!) of garlic powder. So good!

I skipped the added sugar since it seemed like it would be sweet enough without and I accidentally skipped the eggs which I realized after it had already been in the oven for a half hour when I saw them sitting on the counter. It still came out pretty good, although probably a little more liquid-y than it would’ve been otherwise. Very tasty! I just quickly roasted my jalapeños over the gas burner vs in the oven to save time. I will definitely make this again (properly with eggs next time.)

1/4 cup oil 3 deseeded jalapeños 2 cups corn 1.5 cups milk 1.5 cups cornmeal 0.5 cup masa harina 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 eggs 1 cup yogurt

Probably will try using trader Joe's chili lime mix instead of tajin.

It doesn’t need the 2 tlbs sugar

Big hit at Thanksgiving! I like to follow a recipe to a T the first time around, but next time I might experiment with less or no sugar, Greek yogurt in place of sour cream & 2% milk to make it a bit healthier. I found vegetarian Jiffy corn muffin mix (I don't eat pork products), but I might try doing the bread part from scratch. Also, b/c there were kids at the meal, I removed the seeds from the jalapeno. Might go for the hot adult version next time! All in all, I'm thankful for a great recipe!

I skipped the jalapeños and approximated the toppings (used thinned sour cream, chili lime seasoning, and queso fresco.) FANTASTIC! It works as is or without the toppings, based on whether you want to add spiciness. The texture is awesome, Definitely best freshly baked and warm, but the leftovers were pretty good after 30 seconds in the microwave. I plan to serve this at Sidesgiving.

Substitutions: Small (4 oz) can Goya Fire Roasted Diced Green Chilis instead of jalapenos, since I didn't know the heat tolerance of my fellow diners. Used about half the can but it could take the whole thing Vegetarian Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix--made without lard Couldn't find Tajin, used Badia brand Chile & Lime seasoning from my neighborhood Mexican grocery Used the milk + sour cream substitution for crema in the Tips Skipped the queso on top--seemed plenty rich--but I'm sure it would be good

Don’t add any extra sugar period- especially if using cornbread mix, as it already contains a little. Texas and Mississippi roots here and anything to do with cornbread is savory, not sweet. That said, this is delicious- just leave out the sugar, add some Tajin seasoning in the mixture itself, extra jalapeños and it you can’t go wrong.

Roasted the jalapenos in a pellet grill smoker. Then mixed the ingredients and baked on the pellet grill smoker at 250 for approximately 2 hours. Turned out delicious!

This recipe was perfect. We were at the beach, having steak and shrimp, excellent side. Also, excellent late night snack and good cold on the beach for lunch. I can see it working well at Thanksgiving as well.
