Gluten Free Thanksgiving Sides You'll Love!

Please note that these sides may contain dairy and/or soy. Enjoy!

CREAMY CORNING PUDDING
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1.5 cups cream-style corn (Del Monte is gluten free)

Preheat oven to 425°.
Bring milk, cornmeal, corn, butter, and salt to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then whisk in yolks.
Beat whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer at medium speed just until soft peaks form. Whisk one fourth of whites into cornmeal mixture in pan to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spread mixture evenly in a buttered 9 1/2-inch deep-dish glass pie plate or 1 1/2-quart shallow casserole and bake in middle of oven until puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Spoon bread collapses quickly so don't worry, it's the that counts!
