Creamed Corn

1 In a large saucepan, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter on medium heat.

Add the chopped onions and cook 2 to 3 minutes until translucent.2 While the onion is cooking, remove the kernels from the corn. Stand a corn cob vertically over a large, shallow pan (like a roasting pan). Using a sharp knife, use long, downward strokes of the knife to remove the kernels from the cob. Use the edge of a spoon to scrape the sides of the cob to remove any remaining pulp.3

Add the corn to the onions and butter in the saucepan.

Add 2/3 a cup of water and the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the corn is tender.4

Add the sugar, nutmeg, and cream to the corn. Cook, uncovered, for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
