Shaker-Style Creamy Corn Pudding

Ingredients

¼ cup fresh bread crumbs 10 - 12 ears corn, husks and silk removed2 large eggs, beaten½ teaspoon table salt 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted1 cup milk

Before You Begin

To make a sweet version of this pudding add (in place of the chives) 6 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon minced orange zest, and 2 teaspoons ginger juice to the grated corn. To make individual puddings, you can divide the mixture among eight 6-ounce custard cups and bake until set, about 25 minutes.

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, add bread crumbs, and roll them around the dish to evenly coat bottom and sides.
  2. Grate and scrape corn (see illustrations below): Grate each ear of corn on the large holes of a standard vegetable grater, then with the back of a knife, firmly scrape the remaining pulp from each cob. (You should have 3 cups of corn pulp.) Transfer grated corn to a bowl, add next 5 ingredients, and stir to combine.
  3. Pour corn mixture into prepared dish. Bake until the center is barely set, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

Why This Recipe Works

To remove the corn kernels for our creamy corn pudding recipe, we grated the corn using the large holes of a standard box grater, and then used the back of a knife to scrape the remaining pulp from the cob.
