Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh corn on the cob at local farmers' markets or vegetable stalls. Select cobs with soft, milky kernels for the best flavor and texture. Use standard dairy milk and salted or unsalted butter available at any general grocery store.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn cobs using a grater or cut the kernels off with a knife and blend them with the milk in a blender.
- Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the pulp, ensuring a smooth cream.
- Add the sugar and butter to the strained corn cream.
- Place over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook until it reaches the consistency of a thick, glossy porridge.
- Transfer the hot pudding to plates lightly moistened with water and let it cool before serving.
