Ingredients
12ears fresh cornshucked
4Tbspunsalted butter
2Tbspbacon greasecan substitute 2 more tablespoons of butter instead
2Tbspall-purpose flour
2tspkosher salt
½tspblack pepper
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, slice kernels off of each ear of corn. After slicing off the kernels, use the back of the knife and scrape downwards to extract the “corn milk” from the cobs. (Note: I typically do this in a large bowl so that the bowl catches the kernels and the corn milk.)
Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter and bacon grease.
Once butter has melted, reduce heat to medium-low and add the corn, corn milk and flour; stir until well combined.
Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 15-18 minutes or until corn is tender and light golden brown.
