Bella's Classic Creamed Corn
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 6 cups
Ingredients
- 2 (20 ounce) packages of frozen corn (I like to buy organic)
- 2 cups milk (I used whole milk, but you could try 2%)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Pour the frozen corn into a large pot.
- Add the milk, sugar and salt. The corn may stick together at first, but don't worry, it'll loosen up as it heats.
- Over medium heat, bring the mixture to an almost-boil, stirring frequently.
- Melt the butter in a small pan (or in a microwave safe dish) and add the flour, stirring with a spoon to make a roux (it will look like a paste).
- Once the corn mixture is just beginning to bubble, but not boiling, stir in the roux. The corn should thicken right away.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
To make the corn even richer, you could substitute 1 cup of the milk for 1 cup heavy cream.
I typically use all-purpose flour, but I think you could substitute whole wheat flour and it would work just fine.
This recipe makes enough for 12 one half-cup servings. Feel free to cut the recipe in half for a smaller crowd.
