Traditional corn pudding recipes contain a very large amount of butter, usually 1/2 stick per can of corn used. I have lightened the following recipes.
QUANTITY RULES FOR CORN DISHES:
A 9x13 glass pan uses a recipe with 3 to 4 cans of corn and makes about 12 servings. You need 3 to 4 (usually 4) 9x13 pans to serve 50 people. A half recipe makes a round 1 1/2 quart casserole or an 8x8 pan.
1 can of whole corn, drained, is the approximate equivalent of 2 cups frozen whole corn, thawed and drained. 5 medium size ears of fresh corn make about 2 cups of fresh corn kernels. A can of corn is 15-1/2 to 17 ounces.
Traditional Creamed Corn CasseroleMakes a 9x13 pan. A half recipe makes a round 1 1/2 quart casserole or an 8x8 pan.The first printed recipe I could find for this is 50 years old. Mildly sweet, quite plain. 2 cans whole corn, drained
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan.

Ala Chevy's Sweet Corn Tomalito with Vegan Variation9x13 panWhen I can get masa, I make this instead of the one above. This popular sweet corn pudding shows up as a side dish on a lot of Chevy's combos. If you can't get good fresh corn, use frozen corn, thawed and drained. For a vegan variation, the recipe works well with rice or soy milk and soy magarine. To make sure the masa is distributed evenly, mix each 9x13 pan separately. 6 cups fresh corn kernels, supersweet preferred, OR thawed frozen corn kernels
Preheat oven to 250F.

Fresh Creamed CornThis is not a crowd dish unless there are a LOT of hands available.Allow 1 large ear of corn or 1 1/2 medium ears per person. Using a SHARP knife, split each row of kernels on the ear right down the middle. Then using a dull table knife or spoon, scrape down each row into a flat bowl or plate. From a whole ear, you will get about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of creamy corn with some milky liquid, with the hulls remaining on the cob.
