Cream-Style Corn
- 12 ears fresh sweet corn, such as Truckers Favorite or Merritt
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
- Salt to taste
- Shuck the corn and remove all the silks.
- Wash and drain the corn.
- Shave just the tips of the kernels using a very sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
- Cut away from you, allowing the tips to fall into a large bowl.
- Using the back of the knife, scrape the creamy juice from the kernels into the same bowl.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the corn.
- Cook the creamed corn for 20 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
- Add water if the mixture becomes too thick.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Be sure you use juicy corn for this; otherwise, you wont get the right creamy texture.
- If fresh creamed corn is a favorite, you might want to think about purchasing a corn cutter, which removes the tips and juice with one motion.
- You can order one online at www.homesteadharvest.com.
