Creamed Corn Better Than Grannies Food

GRANDMA MOORE'S CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, (seasoned cast iron does well here) cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
• On a cutting board, cut the stalk ends of the corn cobs to make a flat surface; stand them up and shave the corn from the cobs with a sharp chef's knife. Return the skillet to medium-low heat, and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, firmly scrape the cobs over a shallow plate to extract as much liquid (milk) as possible and add it to the skillet.
• Season corn lightly with salt and pepper and cook until broken down and creamy, about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring often; add water if the pan gets too dry.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

SOUTHERN CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• 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.

CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Heat 75g butter in a heavy-based pan until foaming and fry 1 finely chopped onion for about 5 mins. Cut the kernels off 3 corn cobs and add to the pan with 125ml water. Turn down the heat, cover and cook gently for 10 mins. Add 1 tsp sugar and 125ml single cream, season and cook, uncovered, for 5 mins more. Sprinkle the top with 50g grated cheddar or mozzarella and cook for a couple more mins until melted.

CREAMED CORN - BETTER THAN GRANNIE'S RECIPE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, sweat the onion in butter and salt until translucent. After cutting/stripping the kernels off the cobs, use the dull backside of the knife to scrape any remaining pulp or milk from the cobs. Add the corn and pulp mixture to the onions in the saucepan and cook over medium high heat until the juice from the corn has tightened. Add the rosemary and sprinkle the corn with the sugar and turmeric. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cornmeal onto the corn and whisk to combine well. Add the heavy cream and cook until the corn has softened, about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove the rosemary and season with freshly ground pepper.
