Ingredients for Best Creamed Corn

  • Frozen Whole Kernel Corn
  • Whipping Cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Sugar
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted margarine
  • All Purpose Flour

How to Make Best Creamed Corn

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Stir until well combined.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted margarine and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth and no lumps remain. This creates a roux.
  6. Gradually whisk the margarine-flour mixture into the simmering corn, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  7. Continue to cook and stir constantly for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  8. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
