Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn (kernels removed)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes bubbly but not browned.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels start to soften and develop a light golden color.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the corn and stir well to distribute it. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth and thickened.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing it to thicken and the corn to absorb the creamy flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat, and transfer the creamy fried corn to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
