This was my daddy's favorite side dish his mama made. It's just a simple old-fashioned recipe. Over time, I have actually served on dessert bars with cinnamon whipped cream, and has been received well that way! So either way you serve it, enjoy and take a bite for my daddy...
Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine corn, egg, half of water, sugar, salt, vanilla, and flour. Pour mixture into a greased 8 x 8-inch baking dish or 6-8 single-serving ramekins. Dot with pats of butter. Bake about 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned. If pudding is becoming dry, stir in remaining water. Continue baking 10 to 15 minutes, until bubbling and browned.
For the cinnamon whipped cream:
Place all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl. Whip on highest speed, until soft peaks form.
Notes
*Note: If fresh corn is unavailable, substitute a 15-ounce can, drained. Use the “corn water” in the recipe instead of tap water.
