What is Creamed Corn?
There are a variety of creamed corn varieties. As with all recipes, it is possible to find various ways to make this!
My family prepare creamed Corn by simmering corn kernels in a spiced cream sauce that tastes delicious (very like creamed peas)! Blending some of the corn kernels with cream provides the thickness of this recipe. You can make it throughout the year (served on Easter Sunday alongside ham or served with Thanksgiving dinner). It can be challenging to have a fresh crop of cobs on hand to scrape the pulp off the corn cobs (but I always like to mix a bit of the cobs with cream).
A variety of creamed corn recipes involve scraping off the milky pulp that is found in corn cob kernels. They can also be pureed portions of the Corn or put together in a grater to remove the kernels from the corn cob (instead of using a knife). Sometimes, the cream is added to the Corn (but only sometimes), and then it’s spiced by adding butter.
The majority of canned cream corn recipes are made up of full kernels of Corn seasoned with pureed Corn and then added salt, sugar, and starch. There is a limited amount of cream, and I have found that canned cream corn can appear bland, dull, and often excessively sweet. (Although it is great in dishes like corn casserole.)

FAQ
The Corn is sweet enough, so what is the reason you added sugar?
In general, creamed Corn made at home is sweet. It is possible to leave out the sugar. However, the dish needs something else with it. Try it with no sugar sugar, and add one teaspoon at each interval (for three teaspoons) until you have the flavour that you enjoy.
Is creamed Corn gluten-free?
However, this isn’t as if we’re using flour to make the”roux. I’ve created the roux with almond flour, and it would be an excellent substitute for making this gluten-free. But, it is important to double-check all ingredients to ensure that they’re gluten-free.
Is creamed Corn vegan?
This isn’t vegan. The recipe is made with butter and whole milk. This recipe can be made vegan together with soy butter or soy heavy cream instead of whole milk and heavy cream.
Creamed Corn can be kept frozen?
I’m not a fan of this item to freeze, but it is possible to freeze. For thawing, my recommendation is to let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator. For reheating, put the mixture in a small pot at a low temperature and stir it frequently.
What is the average amount this makes?
Corn in the recipe is cooked down until you have two cups of creamy Corn.
