Ingredients
- 2 cups whole kernel corn (drained if canned, about 12 oz)
- 1 can (14.75 oz) creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch or 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, melted butter, honey, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in whole kernel corn and creamed corn. If using, fold in shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Do not over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl.
- Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of extra honey over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. If using a smaller, deeper dish, add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
- Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to help it set.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. To make it dairy-free, substitute coconut yogurt and vegan butter. For a firmer casserole, add an extra tablespoon of flour; for a more pudding-like texture, reduce the flour slightly. Letting the casserole rest before serving helps it set and makes scooping easier. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
