Southern Corn 'Pudding'

   This is a wonderful side dish for any meal.  Easy to prepare, which is always a bonus!  I love to use my Home-Canned Summer Corn in this - such a treat and makes all the hard work of canning it - worth it!  There are many renditions of this recipe type and some add in corn muffin mix, making it more of a 'cornbread' but, this is more of a what I think of as creamed corn set in egg - making it more of a 'pudding' or 'casserole' of Summer corn.

1 cup milk  
2 Tbs butter
