Our friend who doesn’t like spicy was visiting so DH left out the cayenne… don’t do that. It was bland and cooled quickly… I didn’t love it.

Very nice dish. Naturally sweet. I used 1/4 cup of grated butternut squash instead of pumpkin purée and cooked it for a few minutes in the milk. It needs to cook for 20 minutes or so after adding the cornmeal if it’s coarsely ground, typical for polenta. The cornmeal could be increased to as much as 2/3 cup if a stiffer pudding is desired. I used 1/2 cup, served it in small bowls.

This recipe took less time and effort than I expected I’ve and it got raves. I used finely chopped green scallion instead of chives.

This is the best corn pudding I’ve ever eaten. I made this with some leftover corn and used leftover mashed potatoes in the place of the puréed pumpkin. I did add a beaten egg to the milk before heating, and used kosher salt and cracked black pepper. It is delicious and a good side item to substitute for potatoes. (Used Bob’s medium grind cornmeal, whole milk, corn cut off the cob and everything else as directed.)
