what's in creamed corn
Creamed corn is a side dish that was common in the American Midwest before it became a part of American cuisine in general. It is made with fresh corn kernels and cream or milk. Canned versions are also available. The basic method of preparing creamed corn is to first make a white sauce by melting butter and adding flour and cream or milk to it. Fresh corn kernels cut from the cob are then added to the sauce mixture. Seasoning is usually just salt and pepper, although some cooks prefer to add herbs such as basil.
