Comfort Filled Southern Style Creamed Corn
This creamed corn is indulgent, there's no doubt about it. Due to the richness, this dish isn't an everyday dish at our house. It's a special occasion dish particularly good when corn is in season. Homemade cream style corn must be made with fresh corn not canned. The sweetness should be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the corn you're using. There are times I've have made this dish using only 1 tsp of sugar and times I've used up to ¼ cup. It truly is something you must taste and decide while you're cooking it. There is no wrong amount.
Personalizing Flavors for Creamed Corn Shows the Love
Tasting and making adjustments to sweetness and saltiness as you go are all part of cooking this type of simple side dish. That's where the love comes into cooking. Be fearless after all, it's only corn and cooking should be fun and an expression of your own likes and dislikes.
Helpful Tips for Making Creamed Corn
- For this dish, I started with around 6 cups of fresh corn kernels. The amount of cream I recommend doesn't make this "soupy" which is to our taste.
- Once again if you like the cream sauce thinner, add more cream.
- It also reheats beautifully, but be gentle so the cream base doesn't break.
