Classic Creamed Corn Recipes

CLASSIC CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Remove kernels: Stand a cob of corn on a kitchen-towel-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife, slice downward to remove kernels. Repeat with remaining ears. With the edge of a soup spoon, scrape downward to remove pulp.
• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn kernels, pulp, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until corn is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Add cream and sugar; simmer, uncovered, until cream has thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

CREAM CORN LIKE NO OTHER

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, combine the corn, cream, salt, sugar, pepper and butter. Whisk together the milk and flour, and stir into the corn mixture. Cook stirring over medium heat until the mixture is thickened, and corn is cooked through. Remove from heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve hot.

CREAMED CORN CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven.
• In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together to combine well.
• In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and creamed corn, whisking together to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk to the batter.
• Swirl the canola oil in the hot cast iron skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet. Bake until the cornbread is golden brown and springs back upon the touch, about 20 minutes.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Scrape corn kernels from cobs, running knife edge along cobs to squeeze out juices. (If the corn is not very fresh, then blanch in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes before scraping kernels from cobs.)
• Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drop in butter and melt until foamy. Add corn, garlic and juices. Season with salt and cook until kernels become tender. Pour in milk and simmer until milk is almost gone. Pour in cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve.
