Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn or frozen corn)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove all kernels from the cob if using fresh corn. If using frozen corn, ensure it is thawed and drained well.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the corn kernels to the pan and stir to evenly coat them in butter. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly softened.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, flour, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pour the cream mixture over the corn in the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the corn is tender.
Step 7
Taste the creamed corn and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the dish cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
