My dear departed Mom in law taught me how to make creamed corn. Basically it was skillet corn which was delicious in its own right. This recipe is totally CREAMED corn. One barbeque chain sells "creamed corn" which is basically whole corn with milk/cornstarch base. True creamed corn you have to cut off the cob just as directed and scrape the corn milk out of the rest of the cob. Today I added butter and heavy cream in place of the milk and let it simmer down. AWESOME!

I just made this and it is very good. I went ahead and scraped it first with the fork and then went back with a dull knife and scraped the rest so I would get everything. I didn't realize making creamed corn that you had to put a lot of muscle into it! -
Just made this and it was delicious! I looked at a lot of recipes and choose this one because it looked easy and didn't have a lot of unnecessary ingredients or require a dutch oven. I'm so glad I tried it. This recipe is definitely a keeper! -
Can I freeze this after?

I added cream instead of milk and took out some of the corn mixture and blended it in a blender and then added it back in. It thickened it without corn starch and made it super creamy.
