Mamas Skillet Corn Recipes

MAMA'S FRIED CREAM CORN

Steps:

• Remove corn from cobs by using a corn grater or knife, and mash the whole kernels a little. Slice bacon into 1-inch pieces. Cook bacon until brown in a large skillet. Remove bacon from skillet and add 1/2 stick butter to bacon grease. Over medium-high heat, pour in the corn. Fry in the grease and butter mixture. Lower the temperature and cook for 5 minutes, then put on simmer until corn is done, 10 to 15 minutes. Add black pepper, to taste. If corn seems too dry, add a little milk or water.
• Serve as a side dish with favorite meal.

SOUTHERN SKILLET CORN

Steps:

• Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Wash and cut corn off the cob using a knife.
• I use my Bundt cake pan. The cob fits perfectly in the middle holw and the kernels just come right off and fall into the pan.
• In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter and bacon grease together.
• Add the corn, salt, pepper and seasoning, stir to combine.
• Cook the corn over medium-high heat until the corn is done (about 15-20 min). Continue to gently stir the corn every so often as the corn cooks.
• Add additional salt, butter and seasoning if needed before serving.

• Fold in the egg whites.
• Remove skillet from oven, spray with Pam (or melt a bit of butter in it). Pour in batter and bake about 15 minutes till lightly golden. Serve warm.

CREAMY SKILLET CORN

SKILLET MEXICAN STREET CORN

Steps:

• Heat a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Spread frozen corn evenly across the skillet; do not stir. Cook corn for approximately 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and coriander in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Check the corn; it should be slightly charred. If not, allow to continue cooking for 4 more minutes (stirring is fine at this point.)
• Once corn is sufficiently browned/charred, transfer to the bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Add cotija cheese, red onion, and cilantro and mix until well combined. Serve immediately.
