Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh, soft corn cobs at local farmers' markets or the fresh produce section of your grocery store. Use high-quality full-fat milk and unsalted butter from the dairy aisle for the best texture.
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.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the pulp, ensuring a smooth cream.
- Stir the sugar and butter into the strained corn cream.
- Place over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until the mixture achieves the consistency of a thick, glossy porridge.
- Transfer the hot pudding into plates lightly moistened with water and allow it to cool before serving.
