Try Simple Corn Pudding


Makes 4 to 6 servings
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 or 6 ears of corn, husked (depending on size)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter in a baking dish (an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish or iron skillet works well) and slide into the oven so the butter melts while the oven is preheating.

Using a box grater, coarsely grate the kernels off four ears of corn. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the remaining ears. Combine the corn kernels, sugar, cream or milk, flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Lightly beat the five eggs and add to the mixture.
When the oven has preheated and the butter in the baking dish has melted, carefully tilt the melted butter from the baking dish into the corn mixture and combine with a few swift strokes. Then tilt the buttered corn mixture back into the baking dish.

Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until a golden crust has formed and the interior has set.

try cream puffs

Courtesy of Tiffany Sorenson

Puff Pastries:
1 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c butter
1 c boiling water
4 eggs

Sift flour with salt. Combine butter and boiling water in saucepan; cook on low heat until butter is melted. Add flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball and leaves sides of pan. Cook about 2 minutes until mixture is very dry. Remove from heat. Add unbeaten eggs one at a time, beating well with hand mixer after each addition. Continue beating until a thick dough forms. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. (I used a small cookie scoop and it made about 36) Bake at 425 degrees about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake for 15 more minutes. (Mine only baked a total of 25 minutes) Bake about 30-40 minutes total, or until beads of moisture no longer appear on surface. Do not open oven door during early part of baking. Remove to wire racks to cool. When cool, cut slit in side of each puff'; removed doughy centers, if necessary.

Cream filling:
3 c milk
1 large instant vanilla pudding box
8 oz cream cheese
Mix together and fill cream puffs. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
