Jackie Cassel from Baltimore was seeking a recipe she had misplaced for a very simple corn pudding that she said appeared in a Dundalk, Md., community magazine about 10 years ago.

Alberta McLaughlin, also from Baltimore, sent in a recipe from the Dundalk Centennial Cookbook 1895-1995 that was submitted to that cookbook by Ella Mae Helmick. She said that there were several corn pudding recipes in the book but that this seemed to be the simplest. And simple it is. In fact, it took longer for my oven to preheat then it did for me to put this casserole together. What you get is a sweet Southern-style side dish that would be a welcome addition to any holiday feast. If you wanted to add some kick, I would recommend reducing the sugar and adding a small can of diced jalapenos.
