Answer 1

my mom always creamed the corn by adding a mixture of water, milk , and flour..(you probably could use cornstarch in place of the flour)....she would put the corn on to cook with butter ,salt and a dash of pepper ...she added just a little bit of water...than when the water and corn started to boiling...she would combine in a small bowl...cold water about a third of the bowl.. about two tablespoons of flour and mixed it up until the flour dissolved..than she would add some milk about a fourth of a cup..and pour on the corn and let it cook for another couple of minutes until it thickened up...she always used frozen corn when making it....it always tasted great....now, I am going to have to make some...lol...

I hope this helps.........

How To Make Creamed Corn

Answer 3

You can try this recipe to make creamed corn...

1/2 large onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp butter
8 ears corn, husks and silk removed
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper



1 In a large saucepan, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook 2 to 3 minutes until translucent.

2 While the onion is cooking, remove the kernels from the corn. Stand a corn cob vertically over a large, shallow bowl. Using a sharp knife, use long, downward strokes of the knife to remove the kernels from the cob. Use the edge of a spoon to scrape the sides of the cob to remove any remaining pulp.

3 Add the corn to the onions and butter in the saucepan. Add 2/3 a cup of water and the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the corn is tender.

4 Add the sugar, nutmeg, and cream to the corn. Cook, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
