Okay, so the other day I was craving something hearty and comforting, and I stumbled upon this Amish corn recipe. I’d never made anything like it before, but it looked simple enough, so I figured, why not give it a shot? Let me tell you, it turned out to be a fantastic decision!
Gathering My Ingredients
First things first, I needed to get my ingredients together. I already had some butter and flour at home, which was a good start. I made a quick run to the grocery store for:
- Fresh corn on the cob (I got about 6 ears)
- Milk
- Sugar
- Salt and pepper
I prefer to buy corn on cob, it is fresh, though frozen corn kernels or canned corn can be subsititued. The ingredient are very simple, and it is easy to get, I think.
Getting Down to Business
Back in my kitchen, I started by shucking the corn. That took a little while, and my dog kept trying to steal the husks, but I managed. Then, I used a knife to cut the kernels off the cobs. I’ve seen people use fancy corn strippers, but I just went with the old-fashioned way.
Next, I melted a good chunk of butter in a large skillet. Once it was sizzling, I tossed in the corn kernels and cooked them for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. They started to smell amazing, all sweet and buttery.
After the corn was slightly softened, I sprinkled in some flour and stirred it until it was all mixed in. Then, I gradually poured in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid any lumps. It started to thicken up nicely.
The Finishing Touches
I added a bit of sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. I like mine a little on the sweeter side, so I went a bit heavy on the sugar. I let it all simmer for a few more minutes until it was thick and creamy, just the way I like it.
Finally, I turned off the heat and served it up! It was so good, even my picky-eater kiddo went back for seconds. This Amish corn recipe is definitely a keeper. It’s simple, delicious, and perfect for a cozy night in. I’ll for sure be make this again!
