03 - In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well blended, being careful not to overmix.
05 - Fold in the corn kernels and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared casserole dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown with a slightly caramelized finish.
08 - Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set and make serving easier.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The honey creates these incredible caramelized pockets on top that are absolutely worth the wait
  • It strikes that perfect balance between creamy comfort food and something just sweet enough to feel special
  • You can throw it together in ten minutes flat while the oven heats up
02 -
  • That rest period is absolutely essential, otherwise it'll be soupy instead of creamy
  • The center should still have a slight wiggle when you pull it out, not completely firm
  • If your top is browning too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese from a block instead of buying pre-shredded for the smoothest texture
  • If using frozen corn, thaw it completely and pat it dry to avoid watering down your casserole
