WHAT IT IS
Creamed corn is delicious dish that is obtained from vegetables and corn, and then combined with a milky liquid. It is made by scraping full kernels of sweet corn off the cob and combining them with a soupy liquid made with leftover milk. Although it has its roots in Native American food, most Americans who eat it now reside in the Midwest and South of the country. It’s a soupy sweetcorn variety.
All that’s required for true creamed corn is some corn kernels that have been very softly cooked in butter, blended with cream to taste, and then warmed up. It’s simple to make that dish right now, in the height of corn season. If you’re pressed for time, simply whisk up a tablespoon of rice flour with the wet mixture. Cornstarch, potato starch, or flour work well as thickeners in place of rice flour.
