Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup butter salted or unsalted is fine
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen thawed
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting the butter in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot over low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  • Once the butter is fully melted, add the flour to the pot. Whisk it into the butter and cook for 2 minutes over low heat to cook out the raw flour taste.
  • While the butter and flour are cooking, heat the milk and heavy cream in a separate pot or microwave until hot but not boiling. This will help the sauce come together more easily.
  • Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the flour and butter mixture, whisking constantly as you add it. Keep stirring to ensure a smooth consistency.
  • Turn the heat to medium low. Continue to cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, whisking frequently, until it thickens and begins to bubble. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to develop the flavor.
  • Stir in the corn kernels, salt and white pepper. Mix well, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the corn is heated through.
  • Taste the creamed corn and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this Southern classic!
