Selfmade Creamed Corn Recipe

Certainly one of my household’s favourite aspect dishes, my creamed corn recipe pairs candy and crisp corn with a creamy sauce. It’s fast to make and works properly with both recent or frozen corn.

My model will get a taste enhance from minced onion, a pinch of sugar, and black pepper. I additionally a embody a couple of add-in concepts for much more taste.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Simple to make! You’ll spend only a few minutes over the range and can be left with the very best tasting creamed corn you’ve ever had (I can not stress sufficient how a lot I’m not exaggerating this!). You’ll by no means attain for the canned model once more!
• Versatile! Whereas this recipe tastes unbelievable by itself, it may be spruced up with cayenne pepper, scallions, or cheese. Or add crumbled bacon like I do with my corn dip–yum!
• Contains customizations for creamier/richer variations, like mixing a few of the corn or swapping heavy cream for the half and half.
• May be made with both recent or frozen corn, so use no matter is less complicated for you! I sometimes use frozen corn after I make this as a Thanksgiving aspect dish, since recent corn normally isn’t accessible in my grocery retailer outdoors of the summer time.

Creamed corn has been a staple dish on our Thanksgiving desk for years, so you’ll be able to think about how shocked I used to be to find that a few of you get pleasure from this aspect dish in the course of the summer time. I imply, it is smart, given the truth that recent corn is at its peak within the summertime, however we normally save the nice and cozy sides for cool climate and persist with chilly salads like broccoli salad or macaroni salad in the course of the summer time.

Regardless of if you personally get pleasure from it, I believe you’re going to love this model (I may eat your entire pan in a single sitting).

What You Want

• Corn. I sometimes use frozen candy corn on this recipe, however recent will work too. In the event you use frozen, there’s no have to thaw the corn forward of time. You possibly can observe the guidelines in my summer time corn chowder for simply slicing the corn off the cob in case you go for recent (trace: you employ a bundt pan). Both white or yellow corn will work, although yellow is conventional.
• Onion. You should utilize a yellow or white onion for this recipe. Or get fancy and use a shallot! No matter you select, ensure you cube it tremendous advantageous so it blends proper in with the corn. I additionally prefer to high my corn with some thinly sliced inexperienced onions/scallions, too.
• Flour. This thickens our cream of corn into the right consistency. A 1:1 gluten free flour ought to work simply advantageous right here if it’s worthwhile to feed gluten free eaters.
• Sugar. Corn is of course candy, however only a tiny little bit of sugar enhances that sweetness and creates one of the best taste. Creamed corn ought to, at all times, be a bit candy.
• Half and half. Use half and half or use a mix of half milk and half heavy cream if that’s what you retain available (it’s what I hold available). You can alternatively simply use heavy cream, although this may make the dish richer.

SAM’S TIP: I attempted the recipe with garlic and didn’t choose it that method; it overpowered the corn taste. I like to recommend you skip it too–and that’s coming from a garlic lover — I imply have you ever tried my garlic knots?!
