Homemade Creamed Corn
Real creamed corn –a skillet full of kernels and milk freshly scraped straight off the cob, butter and cream, salt and pepper – requires a little time and patience, like most worthwhile things.
Homemade Creamed Corn
Adapted from Matt and Ted Lee’s “The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook”
INGREDIENTS
8 ears fresh corn
6 tablespoons unsalted butter*
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream (or half-and-half, whole milk or skim milk)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar (when corn is out of season)
STEPS
Cut the corn from the cobs with a sharp knife, and scrape the cobs with the edge of a spoon to extract as much leftover kernel and “milk” as possible.
In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it’s frothy. Add corn and stir constantly for 1 minute.
Pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring until the liquid has thickened, about 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and let steam for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
