Follow The Directions

01

Step

Rehydrate the Porcini: In a small bowl, submerge the dried porcini mushrooms in 1 cup of hot tap water. Allow them to soak for approximately 30 minutes, or until they become soft and pliable. Once rehydrated, remove the mushrooms from the water, gently squeeze out any excess moisture, and finely chop them.

02

Step

Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

03

Step

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 0.75 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cup of yellow cornmeal, 0.25 cup of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of fine salt, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

04

Step

Sauté the Mushrooms: Melt 0.5 cup of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped, rehydrated porcini mushrooms and sauté until they are lightly cooked and softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mushroom mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

05

Step

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In the large bowl with the flour mixture, stir in 2 large eggs, 1 cup of buttermilk, and 0.25 cup of milk until just combined. Add the sautéed mushroom mixture and the thawed, drained corn. Stir until everything is well incorporated. Gently fold in 0.25 cup of chopped green onions.

06

Step

Bake the Dressing: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. To release any trapped air bubbles, tap the dish gently on a flat work surface 2 to 3 times. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a paring knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

For a deeper flavor, consider using homemade buttermilk.
Feel free to experiment with other types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or cremini, to add your own unique twist to the dish.
Ensure the corn is well-drained to prevent the dressing from becoming too soggy.
Serve warm, and enjoy the exquisite flavors of corn and porcini mushrooms in every bite!
