Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels or one can of drained corn
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 1 cup sour cream full-fat or light
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp or mild
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • 9x13 inch Baking Dish

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it's warming up, let's get the mixture going.
  2. Step 2: Grab a big bowl. Combine your corn kernels (fresh or drained canned), creamed corn, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, honey, and melted butter. Stir until everything is happily mixed together (the wet team).
  3. Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients: the cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients into your wet mixture. Stir gently just until barely combined, using a spatula. Do not overmix.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold in your beaten eggs. Fold carefully until they are just incorporated. Do not beat the batter.
  6. Step 6: Get your 9x13-inch baking dish ready and give it a light greasing. Pour your corn mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Step 7: Pop it into your preheated oven. Bake for about 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Once it's done, carefully take it out and let it cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes to help it set up.
  9. Step 9: If using, sprinkle some fresh chopped chives or parsley over the top for garnish. Slice into squares or scoop out, and serve it warm.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter once dry ingredients or eggs are added to prevent toughness. Check for doneness around 35 minutes; the top should be golden brown and edges might pull away slightly. Resting for 5-10 minutes after baking helps it set for easier slicing. To make ahead, mix wet and dry ingredients separately, cover, and refrigerate; combine just before baking and add eggs. Store cooled leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or the covered dish in a 350°F oven.
