Definitions
A classic comfort dish found across the American South and Midwest, corn pudding is a rich, creamy casserole made from sweet corn kernels, eggs, butter, and cream — somewhere between a side dish and a dessert. Think of it as corn's answer to bread pudding: soft, custardy, and deeply satisfying. It turns up at Thanksgiving tables, church potlucks, and backyard cookouts as one of those no-frills crowd-pleasers that people low-key obsess over.
My grandma's corn pudding disappears within ten minutes of hitting the Thanksgiving table every single year.
