This toasted sweet corn pudding is a sophisticated take on a classic comfort food staple. By using toasted dried sweet corn, the dish gains an intensive, nutty depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with the tangy notes of buttermilk and a hint of sweetness. The result is a golden, custard-like texture that sits somewhere between a savoury side dish and a hearty bread pudding, making it an excellent addition to a festive spread or a Sunday roast.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, this pudding serves as a substantial accompaniment to roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad.
