Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
