cream corn

Smooth corn side

Cream corn or creamed corn is a dish of corn kernels in a thick, milky sauce made from the starchy liquid released when corn is cut from the cob and cooked down.

It appears as a side dish in American home cooking and as a canned product.

The texture is smoother and richer than regular corn kernels.

Grandma always made cream corn from scratch at Thanksgiving.
