Another cookbook I consulted, Ruth Hutchinson’s New Pennsylvania Dutch Cookbook, suggests separating the eggs, using the yolks in the mix and folding in the beaten whites at the last minute. This would inflate a little bit like a souffle.

I just found this article because I want to re-create the corn pudding I was served at a retirement home outside Reading, PA. The pudding was similar to yours but had the distinct intense flavor of dried corn (Cope’s is the popular local brand). I am guessing the chef reconstituted some dried corn then pureed it like you cream a portion of yours. The the intact kernels were ordinary corn as in your recipe. This produced layers of corn flavor and evoked a rustic, oldtimey, comfort food vibe.
Thanks for running this blog.

I used cinnamon in it and did not the flavor in this recipe, even though I love cinnamon.

Used fresh corn from Lancaster that we froze in August. Would probably cut the vanilla in half or skip altogether next time. It doesn’t need it. This was my 8 yr old son’s favorite Thanksgiving dish.

I came to baked corn very late in life. Although my mother was from Middletown, Dauphin County, she never made it. I just got back from a family reunion in Millersburg, right on the Susquehanna River, and your beautifully written post almost brought tears to my eyes. Thanks so much. Incidentally, one of my cousins brought baked corn to the reunion feast and it was stellar.

In reply to A PennDutchman. OMG thank you. I was thinking the same thing when I read that part. Penn Dutch people are NOT necessarily Amish or Mennonite. There certainly are Amish who are also Penn Dutch. But a lot of the Penn Dutch folks I know are actually Catholic or even atheist (including myself). It would be very appreciated if that part of the article section could be corrected.

I’ve only had something similar years ago when I was a college student in MN. I worked as a cook in the college kitchen and our boss brought the recipe after her vacation. I have no idea where she went but I do remember scaling it up to feed 200. I need to make again. My husband would love it. He is a huge corn fan.
