Gray’s Southern Creamed Corn
Gray’s Southern Creamed Corn is rightfully named after my granny, Gray. Creamed corn was a staple on her table and has certainly become a staple on my table, especially during holidays. Aside from the fact it’s the most coveted side dish during the holidays, it adds gorgeous color to the table.
Course Side Dish
Cuisine American, Southern
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 cobs of corn , cut close to the cob
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 4 Tablespoons flour
- 1 cups cream
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 red bell pepper (optional)
In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add corn and all its “milk” or the liquid produced from the cob to the skillet. I like to leave one cob cut without the "milk" to add a little "meat" to the creamed corn. Cook the corn for about 5 minutes stirring constantly. If the corn begins to stick add a little water to the pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir milk and flour together. Add mixture to the skillet. Once the mixture begins to thicken (about a minute), add the cream and stir to incorporate. Add the sugar, salt and pepper and continue to stir until thick and creamy. Remove creamed corn to a serving bowl and sprinkle bell pepper over the top of the creamed corn. Serve immediately.
