Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream, full-fat
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream-style corn
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, fine or medium grind
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 2 room-temperature eggs and whisk vigorously until pale and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 1 cup sour cream, the can of cream-style corn, and the drained whole kernel corn. Mix until well combined. Add 1/4 cup heavy cream and stir again.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and tap the dish on the counter to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the casserole cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to set properly. For a spicier version, add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free cornmeal.
