Amish Baked Corn

Jump to Recipe

Corn dishes are a staple on most Thanksgiving tables and, really, throughout the year.  Most Amish cooks and homemakers are avid canners, so they'll grow corn in the summer and home-can it to enjoy year-round..  Mmmm, sweet, juicy, hot corn slathered with butter is a crowd-pleaser, but how about switching it up a bit and making a classic Amish baked corn dish.  Yummmmm…Some people would call this a "corn pudding" , but it is a little thicker than a classic pudding. This is a very good dish. Give it a try! Reader Barb tested the recipe for us and shared some photos of this favorite and here is what she had to say.

Kevin, this dish took less time to put together than preheating the oven!  I did make with the optional flour and sugar in the recipe.  The corn mixture was very tasty.  However, the mixture of bread crumbs and melted butter made the topping a bit on the soft side at the time listed to bake.  I did put this back in the oven for another 10 minutes but the topping did not get any crisper.  Mr loved this the way it was made.  If someone wanted a crisper top, I would suggest sprinkling the bread crumbs in the top and drizzling the melted butter over.  Will be making this one again!

Corn is relatively easy to grow and is ideal for the midwestern areas of the United States where so many Amish live.  Silver Queen corn is a popular variety for their gardens.   One tip an Amish woman once gave me for keeping deer from eating her corn was to sprinkle mothballs around the perimeter of the garden that, she said, somehow kept the deer at bay. Sounds "corny", but it works.

Definitely stop by produce stands, farmers markets, and roadside stands when traveling through Amish country in the summer, you'll be sure to see ears of juicy sweet corn for sale. And if you see some, buy some!
