Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl beat butter until it is creamy.

Using a food processor, process thawed corn, but leave chunky. Stir into the butter mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal, sugar, cream, salt, and baking powder. Add to corn flour mixture and stir to combine.
Pour batter into an ungreased 8×8 inch baking pan. Smooth batter and cover with aluminum foil. Place pan into a 9×13 inch baking dish that is filled a third of the way with water.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop for easy removal from pan.
