Steps:

• At medium heat, add corn to butter in a large skillet.
• Stir in flour, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup of milk.
• Cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Add remaining 1/2 cup of milk before serving and stir well.
• VARIATION: Use 8 ears of fresh white corn with large kernels. Cut corn from cobs by first cutting down through the kernels, then scraping the pulp from the cob with the back of the knife. This frees the pulp from the shells.
