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.
Corn pudding is not to be confused with hasty pudding, which is typically made from ground corn, rather than whole kernel corn. [7]
