CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 1-quart casserole dish with butter.
• Beat the cream cheese, creamed corn, corn, cornmeal and chopped onion in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until combined.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, beaten egg, sugar and Cheddar. Season with the salt and pepper and stir with a rubber spatula until combined.
• Spread the mixture in the casserole dish and bake for 50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

FRESH CORN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.
• Shear off the corn kernels with a sharp knife over a bowl (you should have about 4 cups). Toss in the tomatoes, mozzarella and scallions. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and let stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours. Before serving, tear the basil over the salad and stir.

CREAMED CORN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven.
• In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together to combine well.
• In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and creamed corn, whisking together to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk to the batter.
• Swirl the canola oil in the hot cast iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes.
