Mama used to make this as soon as the fresh corn came in. It is similar to creamed corn in sweetness but the kernels are left whole. A great summertime dish. When my boys whine enough in the winter I will make this with frozen corn.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large non-stick skillet instead.
  • Be sure to heat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the corn. This will help to create a nice sear on the corn and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much corn at once, it will steam instead of sear. Cook the corn in batches if necessary.
  • Stir the corn frequently while cooking. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Season the corn to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Serve the corn immediately while it is still hot.

Conclusion:

Mama's Skillet Corn is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
