01 Step

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place an 8x11-inch baking dish on the prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the thawed and drained corn, maple syrup, eggs, milk, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, flour, and baking powder. Briefly mix with a spatula to incorporate the dry ingredients before blending. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Pulse the mixture until it begins to come together, then increase the speed to high and blend until completely smooth, about 2-3 minutes. This ensures a velvety texture. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Grease the prepared baking dish with the remaining melted butter, ensuring all sides are coated to prevent sticking. Pour the corn batter into the greased dish. (2 minutes)

06 Step

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven on the prepared baking sheet until the pudding is golden brown and set, approximately 60-75 minutes, depending on your oven and the baking dish. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. (60-75 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter before melting it. The nutty notes will complement the sweetness of the corn beautifully.
Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. A pinch more or less can make a subtle but noticeable difference.
If you don't have maple syrup, honey or agave nectar can be used as substitutes. Each will impart a slightly different flavor profile.
To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
