Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Smear butter (about 2-3 tbsp) all over a baking dish to prevent the pudding from sticking.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, creamed corn, drained corn, sour cream, buttermilk, sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk together until combined. 3/4 cup Salted Butter2 15 oz can Cream Style Corn1 15.25 oz can Whole Kernel Corn1 cup Sour Cream1/2 cup Buttermilk 1/4 cup Sugar1/3 cup Brown Sugar 3 large Eggs
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together jiffy cornbread mix, cornstarch, nutmeg, baking soda, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt. Whisk together, ensuring to break up any lumps. 2 boxes Jiffy corn Muffin Mix1/4 tsp Nutmeg4 tbsp Cornstarch1/4 tsp Baking Soda1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
Combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients and mix together until just smooth.
Pour batter into a 9x13 baking dish or casserole dish and bake on the center rack for 55-65 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly, like jello.
While the cornbread pudding casserole is baking, mix together 4 tbsp of melted butter and 2 tbsp of honey to make the honey butter glaze. Remove and allow the pudding and brush the tops of the pudding with the honey butter. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then serve. 4 tbsp Salted Butter2 tbsp Honey
Serve leftover cornbread in an airtight container (or cover with plastic wrap) in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Notes
If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil halfway through the bake.
Don’t skip draining the canned corn! Too much liquid will keep the center from setting and may make the pudding gummy.
Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and an even bake. No cold eggs from the fridge!
Whisk gently once the dry ingredients go in. Over-mixing can make the texture tough instead of custardy and creamy.
Bake on the center rack only. This ensures steady heat so the middle bakes through without over-browning the edges.
Check the jiggle test: the center should wobble slightly like soft Jell-O. If it waves like it's saying “hi,” give it 5 to 10 more minutes.
