Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears fresh corn or 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for greasing
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for that Buxton Hall twist
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded (optional but recommended)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Corn If using fresh corn, cut kernels off the cob and scrape the cobs to extract the milk. If using frozen, ensure it’s completely thawed and drained.
  • Sauté the Aromatics In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add chopped onions and garlic, cooking until translucent (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Mix the Base In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, sour cream, sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add flour and smoked paprika, mixing until smooth.
  • Combine Ingredients Fold in corn kernels, sautéed onions and garlic, and shredded cheddar if using. Mix gently to incorporate everything.
  • Bake the Pudding Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish and pour in the mixture.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20–25 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
  • Rest and Serve Let the corn pudding rest for 10

Notes

  • Add Crumbled Bacon: Stir in crisp bacon pieces for a savory crunch.
  • Include Jalapeños: For a spicy kick, dice fresh jalapeños and fold them in.
  • Make It Vegetarian: Omit bacon and use a vegetarian-friendly cheese.
  • Use Cornbread Crust: Line the baking dish with a thin layer of cornbread batter for added texture.
  • Top with Herbs: Garnish with chopped chives or parsley for color and freshness.
