1. Shuck and desilk the corn. Rinse and using sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob, scraping to get it all. Mix green pepper, flour, sugar, salt, and pepper together. Coat the corn with the flour mixture.

Very tasty, my roommate wolfed it down. I used frozen corn, and tried to do a "seat of the pants" reduction, mostly guessing at quantities -- may have used too much shortening. Still, very good!
