Maíz con crema al estilo sureño

Ingredientes

• 8 medium ears of corn (6-8 cups total) (husk and silk removed )
• 4 Tbsp butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1-2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 2 Tbsp all purpose flour

Preparación

1. 1

   In a large bowl, use a sharp knife to carefully remove the corn kernels from the cob. Turn the knife, and with the back of the blade (dull side) scrape any juice from the cob into the bowl. (Alternative Bowl Trick: Use a Bundt Pan. Place the tip of the corn cob in the center of the pan and cut down using a sawing action. The corn will fall into the pan.)

2. 2

   In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the corn kernels, heavy cream, sugar, salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Simmer uncovered over medium-low for 15-20 minutes or just until the corn is tender.

4. 4

   Increase the heat. Dissolve the flour in the water and add to the the corn whisking until combined.

5. 5

   Cook for an additional 5 minutes until thickened. If you prefer a thicker cream base repeat. Likewise, to thin the sauce add additional cream.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.
