Working Mom's Recipe of the Week

Creamed Corn

Servings = 4

Time = 15 min

Ingredients

1/2 small onion, diced

2 T butter

2 cans corn, drained

1 c whole milk, divided

1 t salt

2 T sugar

1/4 t black pepper

2 T all purpose flour

Directions

In a large, heavy skillet melt the butter. Fried onions until softened. Add corn, 3/4 cup milk, salt, pepper and sugar. Stir and bring to simmer. Whisk together remaining 1/4 c milk with flour. Pour into the corn and stir until it just starts to thicken. Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend until desired consistency.

Notes - You can use 2% milk instead of whole to trim calories and fat, but it won't be a creamy. You cannot use 1% or skim milk because it won't be thick enough (fat to flour ratio).
