Homemade Cream Style Corn

This homemade cream-style corn is naturally sweet, delicious and it is so easy to prepare. This recipe is made with fresh corn and simple seasonings. 

It's a pleasure to make your own cream style corn and enjoy eating a fresh version of this classic dish.

Yields: 1 Tin (14 oz) 

Ingredients

1.1/2 Cup Heaped Fresh Corn
2 Tablespoons Butter
1/3 Cup Water
2 Teaspoons Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Heaped  All Purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon coarsely ground Black Pepper
1  Cup Milk
Method 
Remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn and rinse well.  Stand an ear on on a wide bowl or plate and with a sharp knife, cut downwards through several rows. Don't cut too close to the cob; cut the corn kernels about 3/4 of the way through. Once the kernels are cut from the cob, scrape the corn with the back of the knife to get all of the "milk" and pulp. 

Melt the butter in a large skillet / pan over medium heat. Add the corn and juices, the water and sugar. Cook, stirring, until the corn is tender and the water evaporates. Stir in flour and saute for a minute or two then add the 2 tablespoons water, blending well so that no lumps are formed. 

Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly till a smooth mixture is formed . Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Once your homemade creamed corn is thickened, you can season it with salt and pepper, and it's ready to serve!

  

Cool and store in a airtight container in the freezer.  

Your  homemade cream style corn is ready to use.  

My Notes :
If you want to make it more richer then add one cup of heavy cream. Cook this for about 5 minutes more or until it's how thick you would like it.
