Food. Party. They go together like eggs and bacon. Or, if you’re a vegan, like nuts and beans.
My new pitch-in dish is corn pudding (Corn Soufflé, if it’s a fancy party). I got the recipe from the World Wide Recipes PLUS edition pen pal forum (Thanks, Donna!), so I’ll call it that here.
CORN BREAD SOUFFLÉ
In a 2-quart casserole dish mix the following
- 1 can creamed corn
image from the Jiffy Mix site - 1 can undrained whole kernel corn
- 1 stuck melted butter or margarine
- 4 eggs
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
Bake at 350F for 1 hour.
NOTE: Jiffy is specified because it’s sweet cornbread. If you want to substitute another brand, use 8.5 oz (240 g) of mix. If you want to make your own mix, use the dry ingredients to make 6-8 muffins or an 8″ square pan full. If I want to make a half-recipe, I use 8 oz (226 g) cans of corn and creamed corn and half the box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix.

WRITING PROMPT: A character decides to make an untried recipe to take to a party, and it ends up making WAY more than intended.

May 11, 2011 at 4:37pmWith summer coming, I am all about the corn products. This recipe looks amazing! Do you think you could use it (the whole kernel part) with fresh corn? I’ll be back home to Chicago in August and we have AMAZING fresh corn there from a local farm. I think it would be great!

May 11, 2011 at 5:33pmI think so, too, but you’d have to add liquid, since the whole kernel canned corn is undrained. I’d say measure a smidge less of the whole fresh corn kernels than called for and fill the rest of the measure with water.
