Where to find ingredients
Fresh sweet corn can be purchased at local farmers' markets or produce aisles. As a substitute, high-quality canned corn can be used, though it will alter the original texture and flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn ears using a grater or cut the kernels off with a knife and blend with the milk in a blender.
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the fiber, ensuring a smooth cream.
- Add the sugar and butter to the strained corn cream.
- Place over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook until it reaches the consistency of a thick, glossy porridge.
- Transfer the hot pudding into plates lightly dampened with water and let it cool before serving.
