Where to find ingredients
Fresh corn cobs can be found at local farmers' markets or grocery stores. As a substitute for fresh corn, one could technically use canned corn, though it will significantly alter the authentic texture and flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn cobs using a grater or cut the kernels with a knife and blend them in a blender with the milk.
- 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.
