This corn pudding is made with credit to Cope’s Corn, a great Lancaster County memory for one of our chefs–and a side dish you’ll come back to time and time again for any special occasion. If you can find Cope’s white corn, by all means grab it.

Be sure to use WHITE sweet corn for this recipe for best flavor.
