Ingredients
- 5 cups (kernels cut from the cob) fresh corn (about 6-8 ears)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove the kernels by standing each ear upright in a large bowl. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. Scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to release the creamy juice as well. This should yield approximately 5 cups of kernels and juices.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it becomes frothy.
Step 3
Add the corn kernels and their juices to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the corn starts to soften.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and flour until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the corn. Stir well to combine, ensuring the corn is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 6
Add the salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the cream thickens and the corn is tender.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm as a comforting side dish to complement your favorite Southern meals.
