Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 ½ cups frozen corn
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Sauté Corn: Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen corn and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the corn is heated through and slightly tender.
  2. Add Flour and Sugar: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar over the corn mixture. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat the corn with the flour and sugar, which will help thicken the creamed corn.
  3. Incorporate Milk Carefully: Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring to avoid the formation of lumps. This gradual mixing ensures a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. Simmer and Thicken: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir frequently to prevent the mixture from sticking to the skillet’s bottom.
  5. Final Cooking and Seasoning: Continue cooking on low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the creamed corn thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Serve hot as a comforting side dish to complement your meal. Enjoy the creamy texture and sweet flavor of this classic creamed corn.

Notes

  • Using frozen corn is convenient and maintains flavor, but fresh corn can be substituted during the summer months for a sweeter taste.
  • Adjust sugar and seasoning to suit your taste preferences—more sugar for extra sweetness or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • For a richer version, substitute half or all of the milk with heavy cream.
  • If the mixture becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk to loosen it up.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to help prevent sticking and burning during cooking.
