Ingredients
For the Creamed Corn:
- 1 tablespoon flour (arrowroot powder, cornstarch, or other flour)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons finely diced shallot
- 5 cups (about two 12-ounce bags) frozen sweet corn (thawed)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- Optional: freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
- Dissolve flour: Whisk the flour and milk together in a small bowl, then set aside.
- Saute shallot: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Saute the shallot in the melted butter for one minute, until softened.
- Mix together: Add the corn, cream, and thyme to the skillet. Stir for 4 to 5 minutes, until the corn has plumped up. Then add the milk mixture and stir for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Blend corn: Take 1 to 2 cups of the creamed corn and blend it in a blender or food processor, until smooth. Add the blended corn back to the skillet and stir together. Optional: If you’d like it extra creamy, stir in ¼ cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- Season and serve: Season the creamed corn with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, stir it again, then serve warm.
