Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 ½ cups frozen corn
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add corn and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Sprinkle flour and sugar over the mixture and stir well to coat the corn.
- Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Continue to cook on low heat until the mixture thickens, usually about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy your creamed corn.
Notes
- For a richer texture, you can substitute half-and-half or even heavy cream for the milk. Just keep in mind that this will also increase the calorie content.
- This recipe works well with fresh corn too. If you're using fresh corn, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Cut the kernels off the cob and measure to ensure you have approximately 3 cups.
- I tend to use about 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if using table salt) and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
