SO EASY OLD FASHIONED SKILLET CREAMED CORN



So Easy Old Fashioned Skillet Creamed Corn image

You will need about 6 ears of corn for this to make 2-1/2 cups, depending on the size of the corn cobs. I saute a small onion in the butter for about 3 minutes before adding in the corn kernels but that is only optional. This can also be made using frozen corn, and the recipe can be doubled.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right corn: Fresh corn is always the best choice, but you can also use frozen or canned corn in a pinch. For the freshest flavor, look for ears of corn with plump, tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
  • Cooking the corn: If using fresh corn, simply remove the husks and silks and cook the ears of corn in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. If using frozen or canned corn, simply cook according to the package directions.
  • Choosing the right skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best choice for skillet cream corn, as it will evenly distribute the heat and create a nice crust on the bottom of the dish. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet over medium heat.
  • Seasoning the corn: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for skillet cream corn, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Adding the cream: Once the corn is cooked, stir in the cream and milk. You can use whole milk, skim milk, or even half-and-half, depending on your desired consistency. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened.

Conclusion:

Skillet cream corn is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up fresh corn in the summer, and it's also a comforting dish to enjoy on a cold winter day. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give skillet cream corn a try.
