Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small sweet yellow onion grated
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups half and half cream
- 4 cups frozen, fresh or canned corn kernels drained if canned, defrosted if frozen
- 2-3 teaspoons granulated sugar to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- pinch nutmeg to garnish
- fresh minced parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine the butter and the onion and fry until the onion is cooked.
- Add in the flour and mix together, cooking until the flour has slightly browned and has a nutty browned smell to it. This will get rid of that "floury" taste that uncooked roux has.
- Slowly whisk in the 1/2 cup of milk, stirring rapidly to ensure that there are no lumps, until the milk has been added completely.
- Stir in the cream now, whisking to ensure that there are no lumps.
- Add in the corn, and season with sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring over medium heat until the mixture is thickened, and corn is cooked/heated through.
- Remove from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender to blend as much of the corn as you like, this is up to personal preference.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg and fresh minced parsley to serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- It is important that the onion is a sweeter variety, it will add to the flavor
- grating the onion ensures that it will cook properly in the mixture and not be hard. You can also mince it very finely.
- add sugar to personal taste! Some people love it sweeter
