- 4 large eggs, beaten lightly
- 1 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
- 2/3 cup thawed frozen corn kernels, patted dry
- rosemary sprigs for garnish
- In a blender grind the dried corn until it resembles coarse meal.
- In a bowl whisk together the ground corn, the salt, the sugar, and the milk and let the mixture stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Whisk in the baking powder, the eggs, the scallion greens, the corn kernels, and pepper to taste, pour the batter into sixteen 1/2-cup metal charlotte molds coated with non-stick spray, and bake the puddings on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 375F.
- oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the centers comes out clean.
- (Alternatively, the pudding may be baked in a buttered 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.)
- Let the puddings cool for 5 minutes and run a thin knife around the side of each pudding.
- Invert the puddings, 1 at a time, onto a spatula, invert them onto a platter, and garnish them with the rosemary.
