It's hard to believe it's only a week until Thanksgiving!  I admit I love this holiday that is surrounded by eating all kinds of delicious foods.  These days we visit family for Turkey Day so I really don't get to do much of the cooking but I do insert myself in the kitchen long enough to always slip in my personal favorite dish, Corn Pudding.  It is so sweet it might as well be dessert and compliments savory dishes in just the right way.

Sweet Corn Pudding Recipe

from Child Magazine November 2003 pg 184

Vegetable oil Spray

2-14 oz cans of nonfat condensed Milk

6 large Eggs

1/2 C light brown sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tbs vanilla extract

1 1/2 lbs frozen corn, thawed and dried on paper towel

1 tsp butter

Heat Oven to 375F degrees

1. Spray a 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish with vegetable oil.

2. In a medium bowl whisk milk and eggs until frothy.  Stir in brown sugar, 1 1/2tsp of the cinnamon and the vanilla.  Add corn; mix well.  Pour mixture into prepared dish.  The mixture should be thick.  If it seems thin, add additional corn.  Dot pudding with butter and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon.

3. Bake for at least 35 minutes until set through the center. Gentle jiggle the dish to see if the pudding is properly set.  Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
