Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn (shucked and kernels removed)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the kernels from the corn cobs and set them aside. Scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to extract the milky juice for added flavor.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the corn kernels and the milky juice to the skillet. Stir to coat the kernels in butter and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the corn and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 5
Gradually add the heavy cream and water while stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce.
Step 6
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and adjust seasonings to taste.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
