Ingredients

• 3 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.

Step 2

If using fresh or frozen corn, cook the kernels in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside. If using canned corn, drain thoroughly.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to lightly caramelize the kernels. Remove from heat and transfer the corn to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, heavy cream, and egg until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

If desired, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to the batter for an added layer of flavor.

Step 8

Spoon the batter evenly over the corn in the baking dish, spreading it out gently to cover most of the surface.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, before serving.
