Ingredients
8
ears of corn
2
tablespoons
bacon grease
4
tablespoons
butter
more if you need it
salt
if you need it
1 to 2
tablespoons
black pepper
splash of heavy cream
Instructions
Cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife.
Using the sharpest knife, cut down into the cob to get the milk of the corn.
Heat up the bacon grease and add two tablespoons of softened butter.
If you like the corn to be a bit caramelized, cook longer, stir less frequently.
If you like corn to be creamier, cook for about ten minutes, and at the end add the remaining two tablespoons butter.
At this point, you can add a splash of heavy cream if you want a creamier corn.
Add a little bit of salt, and a lot of black pepper.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Reserve cobs for making corn broth. Boil in water and reserve corn broth to add to soups, stews, casseroles.
