Chef's Notes
Do not skip the step of cooking the corn paste on the stovetop before baking. Raw corn paste will taste gummy and sad.
Pro Tip
Use fresh corn off the cob whenever possible. The natural starches are what create that magnificent, thick texture without needing excessive flour.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to cook out the raw corn flavor beforehand, resulting in a casserole that tastes distinctly like sweet corn porridge sitting awkwardly on top of a hamburger.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the corn get invited to the royal banquet? Because it was a-maizing at keeping secrets!
The Culinary Science
The Maillard reaction between the sprinkled sugar on top and the natural sugars in the corn creates a delightfully crispy, caramelized crust under high heat.
