Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup whole kernel corn (drained if canned)
- 1 cup creamed corn
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup yellow cornbread mix
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure even baking and easy release.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, honey, and sour cream until fully combined, forming the creamy and sweet base for the casserole.
- Combine Corn and Cornbread Mix: Add the whole kernel corn and creamed corn to the wet mixture, then gently fold in the yellow cornbread mix, taking care not to overmix to retain a light, airy texture.
- Season and Pour Into the Dish: Lightly season the batter with salt and pepper, pour it evenly into the prepared casserole dish, and smooth the top with a spatula for an even bake and glossy finish.
- Bake Until Golden and Set: Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to set flavors and texture.
Notes
- Bring eggs and sour cream to room temperature before mixing for a smoother, fluffier casserole.
- Do not overmix the batter; gently fold ingredients to preserve air bubbles for lightness.
- Taste the batter before baking and adjust honey to your preferred sweetness.
- Use fresh unsalted butter for the best flavor and richness.
- Let the casserole cool slightly after baking for cleaner slices and better flavor melding.
