Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn (about 6 ears, shucked)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (optional, depending on sweetness of the corn)
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the corn cobs into a large bowl. Then, using the back of the knife or a spoon, scrape down the cobs to release the corn milk into the bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the corn kernels and their milk to the pan.
Step 3
Cook the corn, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the cream has thickened slightly.
Step 5
If the corn is not naturally sweet enough, stir in the optional sugar. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the creamed corn cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
