ORGANIC NON-GMO SOUTHERN STYLE CREAMED CORN
Since my favorite cornbread recipe calls for a cup of creamed corn, and I have no way of knowing if a can of corn contains genetically modified corn (85% of all corn in the US food chain is genetically modified to contain pesticide in its DNA) I use this recipe to make my own creamed corn from certified organic NON-GMO corn.

SOUTHERN-STYLE CREAMED CORN
This was a special request item by my husband for his birthday, & although I have several recipes of my own, I decided to use one from one of my cookbooks that I had never made before, & this was the recipe I chose. The technique may be a slight bit different from my version but the results were the same. It was very tasty &...

Steps:
- 1. This original recipe came from a cookbook called COUNTRY LIVING RECIPES By- JEAN WICKSTROM LILES. Remove the outer husks and silks from each ear of corn. I had 10 ears of corn and used a bit more sugar and flour.
- 2. Using a sharp knife cut the corn down the length of each ear of corn. I like to cut at least twice with a knife, then with the sharp blade of the knife, scrape all of the milk like pulp from the cob, going down the length of it on all sides. Then set aside.
- 3. Now add the flour, salt, pepper, & sugar to a small bowl then gradually pour in the milk, and stir until mixture becomes a smooth paste like consistency.NOTE: Off season fresh corn can be a bit more expensive than it is when in season, I paid $6.00 for 10 ears of corn, not an economical price, but my husband is worth it, so I bought it.
- 4. Add butter to a large skillet, and heat till melted, add in the corn, and stir well to blend. Then slowly stir in the flour mixture; cover and cook over low heat about 10 minutes until corn is tender, be sure to stir often to prevent corn from sticking to bottom of skillet. Now add in the whipping cream and stir till blended, then serve immediately while still hot. NOTE MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU MAY ADD CHOPPED RED OR GREEN BELL PEPPERS, AND OR CHOPPED ONIONS IF DESIRED WHILE COOKING BOR COLOR AND TEXTURE AND ADDITIONAL FLAVOR. OPTIONAL.

Steps:
- Run the corn through a food processor using the steel blade until it reaches the desired texture. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet; add corn, sugar, and water and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat by 1 mark and cook corn until tender and most of water has cooked out, stirring frequently. (Add a little more water and continue cooking if corn is not yet tender.) When corn is tender and liquid has almost all cooked out, whisk together the milk and flour in a measuring cup until smooth, then slowly stir it into the corn and continue to cook and stir until thickened but not completely dry. (Can be thinned with a little milk if needed). Remove from heat and stir in another tablespoon of butter (if desired) and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Don't overdo the salt, it should taste a bit sweet.) Transfer to a serving dish and garnish top with crumbled bacon, if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Fresh corn is always the best choice for creamed corn, but frozen corn can also be used.
- If using fresh corn, be sure to remove the kernels from the cob before cooking.
- Creamed corn can be made with or without cream. If you are using cream, be sure to use heavy cream for the richest flavor.
- Creamed corn can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Creamed corn can be served as a side dish or used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as casseroles and soups.
Conclusion:
Creamed corn is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh corn in the summer or frozen corn in the winter. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and creamy side dish that will be a hit at any gathering.
