Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove all silk strands. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off each ear of corn into a large bowl. Then, use the back of the knife to scrape the milk (juices) from the cob into the bowl as well, as this adds creaminess to the dish.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the corn kernels and their milk.
Step 3
Stir the corn occasionally, cooking it for about 10 minutes until it begins to soften and release its natural sweetness.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir the mixture and let it simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes, or until the corn has achieved a creamy consistency and the flavors have melded together.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a savory side dish with your favorite Southern meals.
