Instructions
- Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Saute yellow diced onion until it’s soft. (Do NOT brown onion)
- Sprinkle plain flour and whisk continuously while it cooks for about a minute on medium-low flame.
- Once flour begins to bubble, reduce heat to low. Gently pour in half and half (or full-fat milk) and continue to whisk.
- When sauce begins to thicken add the seasoning – salt, cracked pepper (or ground white pepper), and sugar. Note: If you are adding cayenne pepper, add it at this stage.
- Whisk everything together.
- Stir in frozen corn. Cook on low flame for about 5 minutes with constant stirring.
- Once corn is cooked through remove pan from heat and serve immediately.
- Before serving, garnish with red pepper flakes, cracked pepper, and chives. Note: you can grate a dash of nutmeg while it’s hot before serving. It's normal for the cream sauce to thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- For best taste use fresh corn. To remove corn kernels from fresh corn on the cob, place corn on a Bundt pan and slice the corn kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
- Cook the slurry well by whisking flour and milk constantly until creamy.
- Though cream cheese is optional, I highly recommend you don't skip it, cream cheese adds rich creaminess and decadent taste.
- Do not overcook corn. Depending on the type of corn used (fresh, frozen, or canned corn), cooking time may vary. Cook corn until it's tender. Overcooking will turn corn mushy.
