Corn pudding

Thick stewed corn dish from the Southern United States
  • Cookbook: Pudding

Corn pudding (also called pudding corn, puddin' corn, hoppy glop, or spoonbread)[1][2] is a creamy dish prepared from stewed corn, water, any of various thickening agents, and optional additional flavoring or texturing ingredients.[3] It is typically used as a food staple in rural communities in the Southern United States,[3] especially in Appalachia.[2]

Corn pudding has sometimes been prepared using "green corn", which refers to immature ears of corn that have not fully dried.[2][4] Green corn is not necessarily green in color.[2] The cooking of the corn pulp when preparing the dish can serve to thicken it.[5]

Corn pudding is sometimes served as a Thanksgiving dish.[6]

Corn pudding may be sweet or savory.
