Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn (about 6 ears, kernels cut off)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter.
Step 3
Sprinkle the sugar over the corn and stir to combine. Let the corn cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it begins to soften.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and flour until smooth and well combined to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the corn and stir thoroughly. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 6
Add the salt and black pepper, and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 7
Simmer the corn mixture for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the corn is tender.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish along with your favorite Southern-style entrees. Enjoy!
