Dry Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup yellow cornmeal
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 (14.75 ounce) can creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
Optional Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can canned corn, drained
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside while you prepare the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamed corn, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix them together until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the casserole tender. Then, fold in the drained canned corn kernels and shredded sharp cheddar cheese if you are using them.
- Bake the Casserole: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure the casserole remains moist and tender.
- For extra flavor, try using smoked cheddar or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
- This dish can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven.
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded.
