Years ago, I was reading the Parade magazine. There was this article about how Dean Koontz and how his wife served baked corn at the first dinner he had with her family. This magical corn made him fall in love with her. I still have this article and smile at it and how it shows a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. For years I saved the recipe and then finally got brave enough to try it. It's a family favorite but below is the TRIPLE sized recipe I need for the holidays. Unfortunately, the article I saved is falling apart. Hopefully, posting here will preserve my recipe forever.
Dean Koontz Corn
3 Cups of Milk
6 TBS of butter
3 TBS sugar
6 TBS flour
3 15 oz cans of corn
(whole and drained)
6 eggs (well beaten
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Boil 2 1/4 cups of milk with butter and sugar. Dissolve flour in 3/4 cup of milk. Pour flour mixture into milk mixture to make a thin white sauce. Add to drained corn in a 13 x 9 pan (or approximate--I use a long Corningware dish about that size). Mix in eggs. Bake about 1 hour. Top will brown.
