Corn Pudding et al

Wouldn't it be great to have a little kitchen help! An easy way-- CORN PUDDING

(The corn-pudding recipe we use most often in our kitchen; this side dish was served to us originally by Kathy Simmons)

1 can (1 pound, 1 ounce) creamed corn
1 box (8 ½ ounce package ) Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 egg
1 cup sour cream
1/4 stick (2 tablespoons) butter, melted and cooled

Mix all ingredients together.
Let stand for a few minutes.
Preheat oven to 325° F.
Put mixture in a greased casserole--approx. 7 3/4 x 11 3/4 x ½-inch. Set inside a larger (13" x 9") pan with boiling water.*
Cook for about an hour or until knife comes out clean.

*I often omit the extra pan and boiling water, with little effect on the outcome
