Creamed Corn
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 10 ounce package frozen corn kernels, thawed (If they aren't thawed, it's fine, they just will need an extra minute with the cream to defrost)
  • ½ C heavy cream
  • 1 t salt or to taste
  • 1 T granulated sugar
  • 2 T butter
  • ¼ C whole milk
  • 1 T all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the corn, heavy cream, sugar, butter, and salt. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is fully melted and everything is gently bubbling.
  • While that’s cooking, whisk the milk and flour together in a small bowl until completely smooth—no lumps!
  • Pour the milk mixture into the skillet and stir constantly for about 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the corn is tender.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve hot and enjoy every sweet, buttery bite.
