Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup corn
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 3 large eggs, well beaten
• 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 cup whipping cream
• 2.75 cups 1% milk
• 1.25 cups finely ground white cornmeal

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine milk and cream in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, whisking occasionally. While whisking, pour in cornmeal in a steady stream. Whisk vigorously to incorporate the cornmeal, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Transfer cornmeal mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add eggs, 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on medium speed until uniform and aerated, about 15 minutes. Mix in the corn by hand.

Step 4

Lightly butter a round 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour batter into the casserole dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
