Cream Corn from Scratch
Delicious Cream Corn from Scratch
The most important part of making cream corn from scratch is starting with fresh corn. There's just nothing like the taste of fresh corn prepared to your liking. But today, it's all about cream corn so let's get started.
Tools You'll Need:
6 ears of fresh corn
butter
water salt
large spoon
This cream corn recipe will serve 6 people and it is a wonderful side dish for lunch or dinner. So to begin, shuck 6 ears of corn and remove silks. Rinse well. Place flat end of corn in a large bowl and cut away kernels by cutting halfway into kernels with a sharp knife. DO NOT discard cobs because we are not done with them just yet. Continue this process with each ear of corn.
Take the cobs that you've set aside and scrape the remaining corn and juice from the cob into the bowl with the kernels. Once again you will need a sharp knife but I find a paring knife works best for this job. Now you can discard the cobs.
Add a half a stick (4 tablespoons) of butter to a cast iron skillet (my preference) or whatever kind of skillet you have on hand. This cream corn from scratch will be absolutely delicious regardless to what kind of skillet you use. I just love cast iron. Heat skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Keep a close eye on the butter as it will burn easily if allowed to get too hot.
When the butter has melted, add the corn and 1/2 cup of water to the skillet. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until most of the water has evaporated. Taste the corn for doneness. If it's tender, remove from heat and salt and pepper to taste. If you feel the cream corn needs to cook a little longer, add another 1/4 cup of water and continue to simmer until it is to your liking.
