Corn pudding is one of the most popular recipes from the American South. Corn pudding casserole has been around for centuries and stem from the British pioneers that came to America with their pudding recipes and from the Native American usage of corn as their main food staple. Every year, it shines as a star over many Thanksgiving tables. There are so many reasons why this recipe is one my all-time favorites; one of them is surely its quick and easy preparation. Its rich consistency and delicate flavors make it absolutely unique.
