Yield: 4 servings

2 cups Milk
1 Tablespoon Butter Or Margarine
3 large Eggs
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Tabasco Pepper Sauce
2 cups Fresh Corn Kernels, Cut From Cob
3/4 cup Coarsely Chopped Red Or Green Bell Pepper
Paprika

This simple but delicious fresh corn custard gets a boost from a lacing of Tabasco sauce and a sprinkling of paprika.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a small saucepan scald the milk, then stir in the butter, and remove from the heat.

In a small mixing bowl whisk the eggs until foamy, then beat in the flour, salt and Tabasco sauce. Gradually beat in the milk mixture. Add the corn and bell pepper and mix well. Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart baking dish in a larger pan, then add hot water to the larger pan until it is filled three inches deep. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the point of a knife inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean. Let the pudding stand for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle each serving with paprika if desired.
