1939 Baked Corn Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends Cooking

[@jcboom6894]

Glen danced, he really liked it

[@Mowgi]

"How did I get on to that?". Haha, Glen in a nutshell. And the stories are the reason we love to watch!

[@DougKeeling]

I'm an average guy in my mid 30's who has never really cooked much of anything, yet this is one of my favorite things to watch. Love the old cookbook show - and everything else you produce as well. Love the history and the fact that you seem to truly understand and always explain things within the context of their times, whether it's the 1700s or the 1930s. Excellent production quality, personable presentation, and just an all around pleasure to watch. Thanks!

[@joeyricefried9621]

Spot on!!

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

So, you haven't cook before?

[@paulasimson4939]

We got the Glen "dance, wiggle & giggle" of delight when he took the first bite. Must be an absolute winner!

[@honthirty_]

I am waiting for the Airplane version of that dance!

[@zaynamoore]

Love the little dance there Glen, cute. :D

[@margaretgustafson2095]

My family still makes a version of this for the holidays. I usually whirl about half of the corn in a blender to make it creamier. As it happens, I live near Allegan.

[@cynthiamorton3583]

Do tell, was Glen correct in some of his musings about the community?

[@MJA5]

Fascinating! All is connected. The past is present.

[@timrawlings9774]

Yep we do too? We call it blender corn pudding. Use for side dish for holiday meals.

[@Rakiyel]

@@cynthiamorton3583 Still holds true today.

[@kendikk1]

Interesting we make this as a side dish here in Barbados. We call it corn pie and I like to use a mix of canned cream style corn and whole corn.

[@imdanhoover]

green chili's!...little monterey jack?...

[@GypsyWomanWindy]

I love the little almost dance Glen does and the joyful chuckle with that first bite. I think I will make this tonight but add a little cheese on top because , well I love cheese!

[@asilverfoxintasmania9940]

you knows it's good when the butt wiggle dance comes out!

[@vodnurse5702]

Yum!!

[@lpshy9337]

Windy everything is better with a little or a whole lot of cheese.

[@applegal3058]

Me too haha!

[@cookilumsden]

Baked corn = Happy dance. This is definitely on the to do list.

[@ragingblazemaster]

The best show on Sunday mornings!

[@jwcsfsky9900]

Glen, would love to see your mother's tomato bake recipe. Always looking for good tomato options especially if there is cheese involved. Thank you for all the wonderful shows.

[@tohojedi9531]

Ate this growing up. We called it scalloped corn

[@AliMoeeny]

so good to see Glen dancing his happy dance

[@maddyf8398]

Ok, now you have to do a show with your mom’s Tomato Bake. I’m intrigued by that!

[@laurareese3389]

Same here Maddy

[@pattynabozny1503]

Yes, please!

[@cynthiamorton3583]

Definitely!

[@raebragus]

Ditto!

[@jmclobot]

Yes! Tomato Bake, please.

[@williamjackson5942]

The city of Allegan according to wikipedia is in Allegan township and is the county seat of Allegan county! I think I see a trend here.... And it is very near Grand Rapids Michigan.

[@Ranman451]

Based on the addresses of other recipes you showed, plus the fact that the private home of Chas. P. Schuler of Schuler Coal is now a bed and breakfast - The Allegan Country Inn, this is certainly from Allegan, Michigan. Allegan County is still quite rural in 2021. I live about 25 miles from Allegan. When I was young, my adoptive dad, born in 1932, made “corn gravy” regularly, which was similar to the recipe you made but had no eggs, and was not baked. It was identical to what you had before you added the eggs. We love the Old Cookbook Show and look forward to a new episode every week!

[@wiredsim]

I’ve watched Glenn for a few years now- never expected to hear him talk about Allegan!

[@ferdi5407]

LOVE Glen's happy dance! Means it's my kind of food 🧡

[@gloriaurban4389]

I'm from Iowa. I've been making this for decades... I used to freeze 500 ears of corn in a day a few times per season. I had two 17-cubic ft freezers on the farm. My kids got tired of plain boiled frozen corn. This casserole made a nice side for a change. Sometimes I'd throw in a box of Jiffy cornbread mix- they're only $1 now. In the 70s/80s... you could get them 3 or 4 boxes for $1. I called that Corn Pudding.

[@DuelScreen]

I was looking to see if anyone else called it Corn Pudding. That's what I'm familiar with.

[@WUStLBear82]

Wow, in PA Jiffy cornbread is still about 50 cents in Target's grocery section.

[@ErinMTexas]

Jiffy cornbread is around 50 cents a box here in Texas - but sometimes HEB and Kroger will run 3 for $1. I have tauvht myself how to put up canned foods - mostly preserves. Is canning corn difficult?

[@RachelleHinrichs]

My grandma and my mom made very similar dish called scalloped corn, often with a sprinkle of pimentos on top before baking for color. We have an evolved dish now we have on holidays with corn meal, and creamed corn, with red peppers and onions as well. It was dubbed Corny Corn by the grandkids, and that name has stuck for years!

[@3kids2cats1dog]

@6:33 O Glen is at his happy place.... :) I'm game, thanks for sharing...

[@tonecapone8021]

It's from Allegan, Michigan for sure. Towns listed next to people's names in the cookbook, like Grand Rapids, Hamilton, and Pullman are in the area.

[@itzel1735]

Yum. Maybe an elote flavored variation? Garlic, cilantro, chipotle powder, lime and cotija cheese.

[@revlorebg2]

Just what I was thinking…

[@tonyboloni64]

This recipe strikes me as a good place for covert leftovers. Diced ham, diced steamed cabbage, diced potatoes etc.

[@cynthiamorton3583]

Seems tasty and easy, two of my favourite things!

[@jrkorman]

I've eaten this many times. At church in our part of Michigan as well as the years I spent in Nebraska. Always a "Pot Luck" standard!

[@DysonTony]

I would love this with some bacon, strong cheddar, and chopped jalapenos mixed in as well. Possibly on top of a shredded hashbrown crust

[@burtbacarach5034]

@@moniquem783 Either way sounds pretty good!

[@burtbacarach5034]

@@moniquem783 Either way sounds pretty good!

[@ToniHinton]

Without the jalapenos, we made something like that a couple of years ago for Christmas brunch. We added sausage (in our case, turkey sausage crumbles for convenience) and it made a good main dish for the family buffet.

[@rogerclarke7407]

I was thinking the same, but with sweet peppers and maybe parmesan.

[@XtreamBrands]

My dad made the cracker crumb baked corn and called it “scalloped corn”. We weren’t too excited about it but he said that they used to make it during the Depression and it stretched the corn out for a heartier dish. I may try this thanks

[@AverageJoeHotRodShow]

My mom still makes scalloped corn all the time.

[@sandihj]

Our holiday tables were not complete without a big pan of scalloped corn, using the cracker crumb recipe. My grandmother cooked on a fuel stove/oven, but they used corncobs rather than wood. As we grew up and became more affluent and urbanized, things like sour cream, cheese and chives have found their way into the recipe, and it is still a must-have on all holiday tables in our family, most particularly thanksgiving.

[@melrupp2129]

@@AverageJoeHotRodShow scalloped corn is a regular side dish with certain entrees in our (58/F, 63/M) household...yummy!

[@ilonadever8249]

Sounds like my mom's scalloped corn, but no eggs.

[@ubombogirl]

kinda like a corn quiche with a bit of thickener but without the crust...and glen's happy dance, of course, says it all :)

[@ARboiWundr]

My family makes almost the same recipe every year for Thanksgiving. Over the years we have introduced a package of jiffy cornbread mix and shredded cheddar to the top! But your recipe was basically the one my great grandmother from Grand Rapids used to make!!

[@sabrinac.5916]

I often wonder what your cookbook library must look like. I imagine a room with floor to ceiling cookbooks. Heavenly! Thanks for sharing your happy corn dance!

[@fictionalbeauty]

Maybe someday he'll do a bookshelf tour, it'd be great!

[@sureiseeyou]

I love old cookbooks. Really enjoy reading them especially the community cookbooks in different states.

[@OptimusWombat]

I love the bits of historical context. That's why I love shows like this, Townsends, and English Heritage (Mrs. Crocombe).

[@Emmilythecat]

Your story telling of history is one of the things we all like about you Glen.

[@Lawyerboyleslie72]

just had our office appreciation dinner last night...something called baked corn was on the buffet..and now this...

[@lorelei9393]

Loved Glen's happy jig! My parents grew up in 30s but rural South vs city North. Food available very different. Also chickens can't be counted on for as many eggs as temps drop, even in the South. Michigan chickens were prob even less dependable. Recipe reminds me that Mom made Dad pancakes with corn when I was a kid. Only he liked them though

[@bflogal18]

My grandmother made a similar corn dish. The only difference is that she separated the eggs, beat the whites stiff and folded them in. She called it Corn Soufflé.

[@ToniHinton]

I was thinking this looks just like a frozen meal Stouffer's used to sell, that they called Corn Soufflé. Definitely going to give this a try.

[@kooyawn00]

My family (from KY) makes something similar to this for the holidays but we call it corn pudding. It's baked in a bain marie and has a little nutmeg, grated onion, and diced pimentos.

[@colleenmayes1537]

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving for sure. I believe this is the corn "casserole" my mom made a few times. She didn't remember it unfortunately but I certainly do! It was delicious!

[@msoda8516]

Glen's happy dance after eating the first bit is adorable

[@deeakadianeschware6383]

Our Thanksgiving traditional version used crushed saltines. We called it Scalloped Corn. I blend up about have the corn to make creamy.

[@lydiamashcka4362]

I make something that is so similar to this. Just 7 eggs, half a cup of milk and what ever left overs are in the fridge mixed in and any cheese that you have, bake about twenty five minutes, done. This type of recipe is such a great way to use up what you already have at home.

[@anneirenej]

The little Glen wiggle dance just makes it so fun. Peppers and onions would make it a lovely breakfast dish or lunch casserole mmmmmm

[@donklesa6040]

Your oven is so beautiful and clean.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

THANKS for finding and sharing a 'homey' simple dish.

[@andysmith9601]

Made this last night for dinner. I added some browned ground beef, onions, topped it with a butter/cracker crust and made it our main course. Delicious! Thank you!!

[@mr.somebody1493]

My great Aunt would make scalloped corn every year for Christmas dinner and it was to die for. It was the first casserole to go empty and rarely made it around the table. Oh how I miss that.

[@rebeccaturner5503]

Love the old cookbook series that you do with the history and stories.

[@charlescopeland4883]

I like when Glen dives off into one of his food history rabbit holes.

[@stevemonkey6666]

I was expecting Glenn to stir the white sauce for 10 hours

[@marilyn1228]

Ha!

[@carole6779]

I believe with this recipe, you can get away with stirring for 5 hours or less... 🤔 But no shaking. That's a different recipe.

[@sennest]

Including donuts!! They made it their own too!😎👍👍

[@Traderjoe]

I love it for its simplicity. I imagine that it would thicken up nicely as it cools. If you added cheese and ham and filled a pasty shell you might end up with a kind of corn quiche.

[@SeraphinaPZ]

A simple dish but it sounds pretty nice. Definitely a treat in tough times.

[@generalawareness101]

Interesting recipe I have never heard of before.

[@zgroenendal]

I live in Grand Rapids, MI and my grandmother used to make something almost identical to this whenever she'd make a soup or a stew. She called it "Dutch cornbread".

[@johnhanes5021]

Another winner. I love community cookbooks.

[@chronovore3726]

As a corn pudding fan, I look forward to trying this.

[@t.s.fleming7171]

Grew up with my Dad's baked corn. A dinner side dish. He used creamed corn when we had it available . Went to a NewYorker's house for thanksgiving a few years ago. Asked what 1 dish I wanted. BAKED CORN! Got a can of corn thrown in a dish and baked.sigh. she tried.

[@kristinaginorio1344]

Right on. My mid -atlantic family does a similar 'corn pudding" for holidays and Sunday dinner.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

My old recipe (from about that era) was always baked in a loaf pan, which would make a thicker product, and sometimes it was actually turned out onto a plate and then sliced. When I made it years later, I just served it out with a spoon. Haven't made this in at least 30 years. Brought back some memories. I used to put cracker crumbs over the top before baking it.

[@shadowtheimpure]

Oh yeah, that book is DEFINITELY from Michigan.

[@lpshy9337]

Glen we need IE You needs to Compile an "Glenn And Friends Sunday Old Cook Book Show " Cookbook. As all ways Amazing simple but good recipie born out of a time when life was hard. Made even more relatable given what we are still facing now.

[@garyjacobs4641]

This is a great idea!

[@lydialady5275]

Definitively from Allegan, Michigan. I appreciate the Allegan County Fair, and, yes, the farm boys do eat their corn pudding with coffe and donuts as a meal in the field.

[@erinharrington4329]

My grandpa (who LOVES corn) would go nuts for this

[@MJA5]

This is similar to a dish my Chilean girlfriend taught me called Pastel del Choclo, admittedly the South American version has a little different flavor and texture due to the difference in the corn grown in both places. Fresh corn is traditional but frozen will also do. Great vid! Don't forget to consider electric appliances! It honestly wasn't that long ago, all things considered.

[@sextonj87]

Like some others have mentioned, my family also still has a a version of this. I love the buttery and elevated corn taste in this over a traditional corn bread.

[@Minnesota_Mama_Bear]

Need to try this! Although, the one you mentioned with crackers sounds more like the recipe that I'm looking for. My Grandmother was born in 1916 and used to make the best baked corn. She called it escalloped corn though. I've been hitting family members up to find the recipe in the books and boxes of recipes that we all have, but no one seems to have the corn recipe! I will be trying this, but would love to get the recipe with crackers in it!! Thanks for sharing Glen! 💚🌞

[@lwilton]

BAKED CORN Mrs. Anna M. Lewis, 216 Fox St. S. W. Grand Rapids 1 can yellow corn with kernels. 1 1/2 cups bread of[sic] craker crumbs. 2 eggs, may be omitted "better with." 1 cup milk. 2 tablespoons butter. Mix all together, season with salt and pepper, place in a casserole, cover top with crumbs and dot gen- eously with butter; bake until it puffs up and is light brown. A glass of milk for the kiddies, a cup of hot tea or coffee and a dough- nut will make this a very hearty lunch.

[@ilonadever8249]

Loved this! My mom made scalloped corn, that's what she called it. Whole kernel and creamed corn, salt, pepper, sugar, butter, and cracker crumbs. After it was halfway baked, she would add some milk. No measurements, of course!

[@jenniferjensen8538]

We make a version of this on my mom's side of the family. My great-grandmother made this and called it corn pudding. We still make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our version is canned corn and canned creamed corn with eggs and milk/cream and salt and pepper. It's kind of a souffle, really.

[@Grandpaige]

This is a tradition for our Thanksgiving dinner down south! We call it spoonbread. The only thing different besides the quantity of ingredients is that we add Jiffy Mix cornbread to the batter, then bake! I spice it up sometimes by adding onions, peppers, pimento and cheese. We love this dish! Oh! And of course fresh corn from our garden!

[@sublimationman]

I love when you do these old recipes

[@hollish196]

I just made this---almost exactly the same recipe. Mine asked for a tablespoon of butter. This is great with potatoes.

[@nonniesimon9726]

[@robertemerson1846]

Our family has made something very similar for generations but use dried corn -- Johnny Cope's dried corn to be exact.

[@rabidsamfan]

I thoroughly enjoyed the analysis of the stove situation in Allegan. Also, the recipe looks very tasty.

[@jazofstoneyrock]

I've been making corn pudding for years. I really like adding some cayenne to it for "sweet heat." Always a hit at the family gatherings.

[@code-fox]

My puppy gets the same sort of wiggle when she sees her favourite food! 😆😆😆😆

[@jwaynewilliams5351]

There are several cookbooks that were printed in the south that use the same ingredients and call this dish corn pudding.

[@markwilson4724]

I think your right about it being Allegan County in Michigan, one of the recipes was submitted by some one from Grand Rapids

[@debbiem2146]

Serve this with bacon or sausage and over-easy eggs for a hearty winter breakfast!

[@wayne2091]

My home town in rural Southern Nebraska, didn't get electricity until 1950. I can remember grandma ice box, then getting a refrigerator. I also know where the ice house for my town was.

[@peshgirl]

I have almost the same recipe, but add 1/4 cup cornmeal that has been cooked in 1.5 cups of milk for 5 minutes.

[@andrewaway]

That’s interesting. My aunt used to make a “bake” with tomatoes, sausages and eggs. As a child I wasn’t all that crazy about it and when I asked her about it, she had no recollection of ever making it. It was probably something from her childhood during the depression in Ireland. I’m sure I would like it now.

[@floief]

A side Grandma used to make and delicious if you like corn. Noticed the recipe contributor lived in Hamilton and there is a Hamilton in Allegan County, MI. Thanks, Glenn.

[@uptoolate2793]

Hey Glen, have you ever had the opportunity to cook on a real wood/coal burning stove? The whole top of the stove is hot, heating up the pan evenly and usually very quickly. Hence "stir continuously". My grandmother used her wood stove continuously until 1967 when my grandfather and aunt gave her an electric stove. They slid the woodstove over to make room for the electric. But gma continued to use the woodstove except in the summer.

[@michaelreid8857]

My father who grew up in England, remembers as a boy, the food cooked in a Wood Oven. He said, that the flavour was so much better than Electric or even Gas!

[@ReibahDarling]

If a recipe earns Glen’s “happy dance” then I’m making it! Thanks for these Glen and Jules, y’all make me laugh quite often and this is one of the few cooking channels from which I have actually have made recipes from. So far, y’all are batting 100…or is it 1000? I never can keep track if it’s 100 or 1000, either way, your recipes have all been great!

[@nell6913]

I'm from central Michigan. My family used canned creamed corn.

Mom made this rarely,but it was a school cafeteria favorite. I can still taste it. They use diced potatoes,hard boiled eggs,onion,celery,milk butter and a top crust. Salt and pepper. I had it with half cream corn a d half niblets. That was good. Oops I am describing corn pie.
