You can never have too many side dish recipes, so give Cook the Book: Corn Pudding Head to the store and pick up chile flakes, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and a few other things to make it today. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 45 minutes.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan and put the pan in the oven to heat while you prepare the pudding.
Fry the bacon until crisp, then transfer it, along with 2 tablespoons of drippings, to a large bowl. If need be, add melted butter so that the total amount of fat equals 2 tablespoons.
Measure the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and chile flakes into a bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the cornmeal.
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the drippings, then add the milk, sugar, and vinegar and beat until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth; the batter will be quite thin. Stir in the cheese and chives.
Pour the batter into the heated pan, then pour the cream into the center without stirring.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. The pudding should quiver slightly when gently shaken, but the edges should be set and lightly browned.
Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
