Southern Fried Corn

Contributed By: Terry Borden

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon bacon grease, optional
1/2 cup white onion, chopped
5 ears corn, shucked and kerneled
1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
bacon, optional, cooked and crumbled, to taste

Method:

1 In a cast-iron skillet on the stove-top over medium heat, melt the butter with the bacon grease.
2 When the butter begins to sizzle, add the chopped onions and corn. Cook until the corn tastes done, about 10 minutes.
3 Add the flour and stir, cooking until the raw flour smell dissipates, about 1 minute.
4 Add the milk and mix well.
5 Once the milk starts to bubble, season the corn with pepper and salt.
6 Stir in the crumbled bacon.
7 Serve hot!
