Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey (plus more for glazing)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 box (8.5 oz) cornbread mix
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or cayenne; shredded cheddar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Whisk wet: In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
- Fold in corn & mix: Stir in whole kernel corn, creamed corn, and cornbread mix until fully combined. Add optional spice or cheese if using.
- Bake: Spread batter in the dish and bake 45–55 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean (edges set, center tender).
- Finish & serve: Rest 5–10 minutes, then drizzle lightly with honey for a glossy glaze. Slice and serve warm.
