Soft, creamy baked cornmeal custard squares with a lightly golden top and a smooth, comforting texture that feels nostalgic and satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
