Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh corn, carefully slice the kernels off the cob into a large bowl. For frozen corn, measure out 4 cups and set aside to thaw slightly.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until completely melted and bubbling.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat evenly with the butter. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and lightly sizzling.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a creamy mixture.
Pour the creamy mixture into the skillet with the corn, stirring to combine thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the corn is creamy and tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the creamed corn warm. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, if desired.
