Creamed Corn

Creamed Corn

Yield: 4

Adapted from: NY Times

This is a sweetly comforting dish, and it’s remarkably simple to make. Fresh corn is best for this, but frozen corn would work as well. If using the latter, add a bit of water when cooking before you add the milk.
Prep: Cook:

  • 6ears fresh corn or one 10 oz bag frozen
  • 2TBS butter
  • sliver of garlic
  • sea salt
  • ¾cup milk
  • ¼cup heavy cream
  • fresh sage leaves or chopped parsley, for garnish

Scrape corn kernels from cobs, running knife edge along cobs to squeeze out juices. (If the corn is not very fresh, then blanch in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes before scraping kernels from cobs.)

Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Drop in butter and melt until foamy. Add corn, garlic and juices. Season with salt and cook until kernels become tender. Pour in milk and simmer until milk is almost gone. Pour in cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve.
