- Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Over medium heat, add the corn, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the corn just loses its starchiness. Season to taste, gently stir in the basil or other green herbs, and serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. When the oven is hot, pour the oil into a 9-inch cast-iron skillet and tilt the pan so that the oil coats the sides and bottom. Place the skillet in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the kernels from the cobs and place in a large bowl. (Jean uses the Lee's corn scraper on the previous page,but a sharp knife will do.) Using the sharp edge of a wide, heavy knife,scrape the cobs thoroughly so that the pulp and juice run into the bowl. (You should have about 7 cups.) Add the salt, cream and flour, and mix well.
- Pour the sticky corn mixture into the scorching hot skillet, and press down with a spatula to flatten and compact it. Bake until the edges begin to brown and the top is browned in places, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Run a knife along the inside edge of the skillet to loosen the corn. Place a serving platter on top of the pan, carefully invert platter and pan,and lift off the pan.If the stars align,you will have a beautiful golden brown corn cake,but it might take a few tries before you perfect this (4 people tested this recipe; 1 got a flawless cake).If the mixture sticks to the pan,don't worry: just scrape it all into a bowl and mix lightly to disperse the crispy bits. It will still be delicious.

FESTIVE CORN 'N' BROCCOLI
This recipe is delicious and versatile. I often substitute a tablespoon of minced fresh basil for the dried, and two to three ears of sweet corn (about a cup cut fresh from the cob) for the Mexicorn. -Lucile Throgmorton, Clovis, New Mexico

MAMA'S SKILLET CORN
Mama used to make this as soon as the fresh corn came in. It is similar to creamed corn in sweetness but the kernels are left whole. A great summertime dish. When my boys whine enough in the winter I will make this with frozen corn.

Steps:
- Combine corn, salt, pepper, sugar, butter and water in a 10-inch skillet.
- Cover and simmer 15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Combine flour with milk, blending until smooth.
- Stir into corn.
- Cook five more minutes, stirring constantly.
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn kernels, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Choose the right skillet: Use a large skillet that is deep enough to hold all of the ingredients. A cast iron skillet is a great choice because it distributes heat evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Be sure to give the corn kernels enough space in the skillet so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the skillet, the corn kernels will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the corn kernels until they are tender: The corn kernels should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking the corn kernels will make them tough.
- Season the corn kernels to taste: Season the corn kernels with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Serve the corn kernels immediately: Corn kernels are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with chopped cilantro, parsley, or green onions.
Conclusion:
Festive skillet corn is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and it can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even a main course. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavor, festive skillet corn is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
