This Amish Baked Corn is a comforting and simple side dish that combines fresh or frozen corn with a rich custard-like mixture of milk, egg, and butter, lightly sweetened and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for family dinners or holiday meals, it offers a sweet, creamy, and slightly savory flavor that highlights the natural goodness of corn.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on sweetness of corn)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter: Gently melt the butter and let it cool enough so that it will not scramble the egg during mixing.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and cooled melted butter until fully blended.
  4. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn with the wet mixture. Add the flour and sugar, then season with salt and pepper. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure the flour is well incorporated without lumps.
  5. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the custard is set, the top looks golden, and the corn is tender. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your corn or personal preference.
  • Fresh corn will give the best flavor, but frozen corn works well as a convenient alternative.
  • Make sure the melted butter is not hot when adding to the egg and milk mixture to prevent curdling.
  • Use a 2-quart baking dish for even cooking and to avoid overflow.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or paprika for added warmth and flavor variation.
