CREAMED CORN

• Cook corn according to package directions; I use the microwave.
• Melt butter in saucepan, stir in flour and blend well.
• Add milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, and blend with whisk.
• Cook over medium heat until thickened.
• Stir in sugar, salt and pepper.
• Add cooked, drained corn.
• Hint: sometimes I use part milk, part cream.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Add the corn and 1 1/2 cups water to a large pot or Dutch oven and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of the corn and liquid to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir the pureed corn back into the pot and return to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and 2/3 cup water in a small bowl. Stir the slurry into the contents of the pot and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and another 1 teaspoon salt.
