Questions

What oven temperature does Corn Pudding need?

For Corn Pudding, the oven is set to 350 F (about 175 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 45 minutes, in step 6.

Why does Corn Pudding say not to overmix?

Step 4 reads: "Stir until just combined." Stirring develops gluten, and gluten makes quick batters tough and tunneled. Stop at step 4 while a few streaks of flour remain; they hydrate on their own.

Is there a substitute for sour cream in Corn Pudding?

The entry for Corn Pudding calls for 1 cup sour cream. In its place: Full-fat plain Greek yogurt, measure for measure. In hot sauces, add it off the heat.

Can I make Corn Pudding dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Corn Pudding is 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. Swap the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Does Corn Pudding contain eggs?

Yes: 4 eggs, beaten. The full allergen list for this entry is dairy and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
