A simple and comforting creamed corn recipe, perfect as a nostalgic side dish for family dinners and holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in sugar, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add corn kernels and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • If using canned corn, ensure it is well-drained to avoid a watery sauce.
  • This recipe is a great base; feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
