Ingredients
- Butter — 1 ½ tbsp.
- Flour — 1 ½ tbsp.
- Sugar — 2 tbsp.
- Salt — ½ tsp.
- Whole kernel corn — 3 cups, canned.
- Whipped cream — 1 ½ cups.
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pan.
- Add the salt and flour. Stir until combined.
- Add the whipped cream and mix until the mixture thickens.
- Add the sugar with corn, and heat through.
Substitutions
- Flour — Lawry’s creamed corn recipe is all about ending up with a smooth, creamy, and consistent texture. And you simply cannot do that without flour. Although you are likely to have some of that in your pantry, we need to talk about other alternatives. Cornstarch or gluten-free options like buckwheat flour and arrowroot flour would also work great.
- Whipped cream — You can’t really make creamed corn without the cream, and that’s what whipped cream provides. If you’ve noticed something different about Lawry’s creamed corn, that’s probably the whipped cream, as most brands and recipes use heavy cream instead. Although you are free to substitute whipped cream for heavy cream, that would probably result in the loss of some uniqueness.
- Whole kernel corn — This one, whole kernel corn, is most people’s go-to option when making creamed corn, because of the texture and flavor. Frozen corn can work too, as long as you thaw it beforehand to prevent excessive moisture.
Variations
- Creamed corn with cheese — If you think this one sounds cheesy, just wait until you have a bite. All you need is some shredded cheese. Add it to the pot with the rest, and give it some time to melt. Your creamed corn will be even more creamy, with some extra flavor.
- Smoky creamed corn — If you’d rather have your creamed corn a bit meatier, you might want to consider adding one or two slices of bacon to the mix. Just cook it until crispy, break it into small pieces, and add to the mix.
Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Large pan.
Storage
- Afterward, transfer the cooled creamed corn to an airtight container.
- Stored in your fridge, it will last for up to four days.
Tips
- The seasoning — Adding more seasonings is usually a good idea, and salt and pepper would be a good place to begin with. Onion powder, garlic powder, or any other herbs and spices could also be tried.
- The corn — What separates a perfect creamed corn from an average or a bland one? Well, the answer is how you cook the corn. To be more specific, make sure that you don’t overcook the corn.
