Description
A creamy, buttery side dish of sweet corn, perfect for any gathering or weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- If you’re using fresh corn, start by husking the corn and cutting the kernels off the cob. If you’re using frozen corn, simply measure out four cups.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. If you’re using onions, add them now and sauté until they’re translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir them into the buttery mix. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring well to combine. Add sugar if desired.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Add cayenne pepper for heat, if desired.
- Let the mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once creamy and delicious, adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
Notes
For a healthier version, use low-fat cream or skim milk and incorporate additional vegetables.
