Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears of corn)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Aim for about 4 cups of kernels.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk continuously to form a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce.
Step 5
Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Add the corn kernels to the sauce and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the mixture has thickened.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the bourbon. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off while leaving the rich bourbon flavor.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
