Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen corn)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- Chopped herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Expected result: The butter should bubble gently without browning.
- Add the corn: Incorporate the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Common mistake to avoid: Overcooking the corn will make it tough.
- Pour in the cream: Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Expected result: The cream should meld with the corn, creating a creamy consistency.
- Season: Stir in salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Common mistake to avoid: Not tasting before serving; adjust seasonings to your liking.
- Thicken the sauce: Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Expected result: A creamy texture clinging to the corn.
- Garnish: Serve hot, garnishing with chopped herbs. Expected result: A pop of color and freshness completes the dish.
Notes
Creamed corn can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove.
