Corn Pudding
This is not the dessert Majarete recipe. It is a savory side dish.Ingredients:
5 to 7 fresh corn cobs or 2 cans of corn (850 g)
⅓ cup sugar (65 g)
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
3 eggs
1 cup milk (120 g)
1 cup half-and-half or cream (237 ml)
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (43 g)
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions:
1. Grease an 8x11.5-inch PYREX baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut the corn from the cob, slicing from top to bottom. Halve the corn grains and scrape the remaining kernels. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can use canned corn; you'll need 2 cans of corn.
3. In a large bowl, combine the corn, sugar, and salt. Add the three lightly beaten eggs, milk with dissolved cornstarch, cream, and butter; stir until thoroughly combined.
4. Transfer the mixture into the greased PYREX baking dish. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg. Place the dish in a water bath and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The result will be akin to a gel or custard, with a buttery soft-set texture, offering a delightful sweetness.
