ORGANIC NON-GMO SOUTHERN STYLE CREAMED CORN
Since my favorite cornbread recipe calls for a cup of creamed corn, and I have no way of knowing if a can of corn contains genetically modified corn (85% of all corn in the US food chain is genetically modified to contain pesticide in its DNA) I use this recipe to make my own creamed corn from certified organic NON-GMO corn.

SOUTHERN-STYLE CREAMED CORN

Steps:
- 1. This original recipe came from a cookbook called COUNTRY LIVING RECIPES By- JEAN WICKSTROM LILES. Remove the outer husks and silks from each ear of corn. I had 10 ears of corn and used a bit more sugar and flour.
- 2. Using a sharp knife cut the corn down the length of each ear of corn. I like to cut at least twice with a knife, then with the sharp blade of the knife, scrape all of the milk like pulp from the cob, going down the length of it on all sides. Then set aside.
- 3. Now add the flour, salt, pepper, & sugar to a small bowl then gradually pour in the milk, and stir until mixture becomes a smooth paste like consistency.NOTE: Off season fresh corn can be a bit more expensive than it is when in season, I paid $6.00 for 10 ears of corn, not an economical price, but my husband is worth it, so I bought it.
- 4. Add butter to a large skillet, and heat till melted, add in the corn, and stir well to blend. Then slowly stir in the flour mixture; cover and cook over low heat about 10 minutes until corn is tender, be sure to stir often to prevent corn from sticking to bottom of skillet. Now add in the whipping cream and stir till blended, then serve immediately while still hot. NOTE MY SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU MAY ADD CHOPPED RED OR GREEN BELL PEPPERS, AND OR CHOPPED ONIONS IF DESIRED WHILE COOKING BOR COLOR AND TEXTURE AND ADDITIONAL FLAVOR. OPTIONAL.

Steps:
- Run the corn through a food processor using the steel blade until it reaches the desired texture. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet; add corn, sugar, and water and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat by 1 mark and cook corn until tender and most of water has cooked out, stirring frequently. (Add a little more water and continue cooking if corn is not yet tender.) When corn is tender and liquid has almost all cooked out, whisk together the milk and flour in a measuring cup until smooth, then slowly stir it into the corn and continue to cook and stir until thickened but not completely dry. (Can be thinned with a little milk if needed). Remove from heat and stir in another tablespoon of butter (if desired) and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Don't overdo the salt, it should taste a bit sweet.) Transfer to a serving dish and garnish top with crumbled bacon, if desired, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your creamed corn the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but make sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Add some creaminess. Cream, milk, or even sour cream can be used to give your creamed corn a rich and creamy texture. Add it slowly and stir until the desired consistency is reached.
- Season to taste. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for creamed corn, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, chili powder, and paprika.
- Don't overcook the corn. Creamed corn should be cooked just until the corn is tender. Overcooking will make the corn tough and chewy.
- Serve immediately. Creamed corn is best served immediately after it is made. It can be reheated, but it may not be as creamy as when it was first made.
Conclusion:
Creamed corn is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or loaded with flavor, creamed corn is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
