Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Frozen sweet corn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen sweet corn kernels, water, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let the corn simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is tender and cooked through.
While the corn is simmering, in a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and heavy cream until it forms a smooth paste with no lumps.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan with the corn. Stir until the butter is fully melted and evenly coats the corn.
Slowly pour the cream and flour mixture into the saucepan while continuously stirring to avoid clumps. Let the sauce thicken for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Once the butter sauce reaches your desired consistency, stir in the freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the saucepan from heat and serve the buttery corn warm. Enjoy it as a side dish or pair it with your favorite comfort meal.
