Easy Winter White Creamed Corn

Easy Winter White Creamed Corn

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbl. butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped small (about a 1/2 cup or as desired)
  • 1 tsp. sugar, more if you like it sweeter (taste first)
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 Tbl. flour
  • 1 (11 oz.) can white shoepeg corn, drained (*Save juice / see Note below)
  • 1 Tbl. reserved corn juice from can or as desired for consistency

Instructions

  • In a small frying pan (or medium, shallow sauté pan) over medium-low heat, melt butter and sauté onion until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk together milk and flour, and stir into butter and onion mixture.
  • Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens. Cook and stir for 2 minutes longer.
  • Stir in drained corn and heat through over low heat.
  • Add 1 Tbl. of corn juice from can or as desired for thickness. (You will have a scant 1/4 cup juice to play with.)
  • Taste and adjust seasonings to preference.

    • Notes

    I use Le Sueur brand or Green Giant per what the store has. (Green Giant is personally preferred). An 11 oz. can (LeSueur) yields approximately 1 1/2 cups corn (after draining juice). Juice yields about 1/4 cup.
