GRANDMA MOORE'S CREAMED CORN
Steps:
- In a large skillet, (seasoned cast iron does well here) cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
- On a cutting board, cut the stalk ends of the corn cobs to make a flat surface; stand them up and shave the corn from the cobs with a sharp chef's knife. Return the skillet to medium-low heat, and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, firmly scrape the cobs over a shallow plate to extract as much liquid (milk) as possible and add it to the skillet.
- Season corn lightly with salt and pepper and cook until broken down and creamy, about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring often; add water if the pan gets too dry.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

FRIED CORN (MY GRANDMA'S RECIPE)

Steps:
- 1. heat skillet (medium/high setting), add butter, empty frozen corn into skillet, sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper
- 2. fry corn until a dark golden yellow and serve
Tips:
- Use fresh corn on the cob: Fresh corn on the cob will give you the best flavor and texture in your fried corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it before cooking.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cob: The easiest way to do this is to use a sharp knife to slice down the sides of the cob. You can also use a corn stripper, which is a tool specifically designed for this purpose.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help to give your fried corn a crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but be sure to season it well before cooking.
- Use a high smoke point oil: A high smoke point oil will help to prevent your fried corn from burning. Some good options include vegetable oil, canola oil, and peanut oil.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When frying the corn, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will help to ensure that the corn cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
- Season the corn to taste: Once the corn is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Conclusion:
Grandma's Country Fried Corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
