Granny’s Kentucky Corn Pudding

Granny never shared her recipes, but I got this one from her shortly before she passed away.

This is her recipe verbatim!

At the family reunions in Kentucky each woman would bring her own variation of this, some add cheese to the top, some add diced peppers, but I like this one plain, simple and full of love from Granny!

6 eggs

2 cans corn (white or yellow)

3 cans creamed corn

1/2 C condensed milk

1/2 stick butter

1-2Tbsp Sugar (or Splenda)

pinch of salt and dash of pepper

Lots of Love and don’t forget to talk to it as you are making it!! (she made sure this direction was in the recipe so I never leave it out)

(feeds 6 or less if you really like it)

Heat oven to 350.  Whip the eggs really well.

Butter a casserole dish that is at least 2″ deep. (you can use Pam for this)

Melt the 1/2 stick of butter.

Mix, corn, cream corn, milk, melted butter, sugar, salt and pepper into whipped eggs, blend completely. DON’T forget to keep talking to it and giving it lots of love!

Pour into buttered dish.

Bake until it is puffy and brown.  Around 30-45 mins

Eat nice and hot!

Congratulations to Leah Fulford, our Woman of the Week!

Do you know someone you think should be our Woman of the Week?  Tell us about her!

Precious Baxter is looking for his forever family.  Could he come live with you?

Please contact Peg (fraserlockwood@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

My name is Baxter, and I know what you are thinking. I may not look like a Powderpuff Chinese Crested, but I have the CKC registration to prove it. My brother and I have spent our whole lives chained in a small pen in a backyard. We were so matted, that the powder puff fur we had all had to be shaved off (don’t worry, it will grow back!). I have never known the comfort of a real family, but I still have so very much love to give – I just need a chance. Maybe you could love me?

Baxter is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
