Creamed Corn a la Aunt Amber Lee.... Source: Jim Mixson as remembered from Aunt Amber Lee (Mixson) Anderson's kitchen 8 ears fresh corn, husked and de-silked 2 T bacon drippings 1 1/2 sticks butter JGM mix...This is my concoction; see Recipe or salt & pepper to taste 1 1/2 cups whole milk Slice the kernals off the corn cob a little at a time. The more slices, the creamier the corn will be. At the end, scrape the cob with the back of the knife to get all the juicy remnants. (I prefer a sharp boning knife to remove the corn from the cob.) In a large well seasoned cast iron skillet, melt the butter in the bacon drippings and add the corn. Cook at a very low simmer for an hour, stirring every 2-3 minutes. It WILL stick. Season with JGM Mix or salt and pepper and add a cup of milk. Continue cooking at a very low simmer for another hour, again stirring every 2-3 minutes. Add milk from time to time to desired creaminess. Reseason as desired. The longer it cooks, the better...2-3 hours will suffice. |
