Ingredients

8 ears corn, husked
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons bacon grease
1 tablespoons butter

Directions

In a large bowl, cut the tip off cob. Cut the kernels from cob with a small paring knife. Using the back of the blade, scrape against the cob to press out the milky liquid.

Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine with corn. Add the heavy cream and water. Mix.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat bacon grease. Add corn mixture and turn heat down to medium-low, stirring until it becomes creamy, about 30 minutes.

Add the butter right before serving.

Not really!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Real creamed corn is a food. It doesn't need flour to cheat the thickening. Bacon fat, butter, cream, and sugar make this a... contrived non food. Would never, ever make this concoction. Creamed corn means that you "cream" the corn, not make it out of cream and especially not thickeners. Adding a bit of cream is cool. . . Even if you love bacon and bacon fat you could surely add it to a real creamed corn. Read more

Yummy side dish!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I have made this a couple of times with a few changes. I did not use the bacon or bacon grease. Instead I cooked the flour... first in the melted 1 TBL. butter then I added the rest of the ingredients. I also used a 10 oz. bag of frozen corn and just used store bought bacon bits. It turned out thick, rich and yummy and so easy to make!Read more

I little Corny and that OKAY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When you share such wonderful recipes I can tolerate the corny inuendos. I tried this last year at the end of the corn season... and couldn't wait for this year. Then I couldn't find my recipe or remember where it came from. When I found it it was all I remembered it was. The seasons about over and I will put it where I can find it next year at the beginning of the season. I would love to know how to can it. An old friend made canned corn that was almost as good. Never have liked the store bought stuff.Read more
