Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by shucking the ears of corn and cutting the kernels off the cob to measure about 3 cups. Set them aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until foamy.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and become slightly golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the corn and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the corn is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color, if desired, and serve warm.
