Fried Corn

Fried CornFriend Corn

Some of the best recipes I have ever tasted hail from the Southern US and today’s recipe – Fried Corn – is no exception. I first tasted this dish on the 4th of July holiday when my dear friend, Mel, brought a batch to our barbecue. It was so good, I asked if he would show me how to make this delicious dish!

He agreed – and now, I’m sharing this family recipe with you! Enjoy – it is simply scrumptious!

Fresh Corn On The CobThe Star Ingredient

Ingredients

10 Ears of Sweet White Corn
½ Stick Butter
½ Teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoning Salt
1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Use a very sharp paring knife to slice the top half of the kernels off of the first five ears of corn into a frying pan. The Step 1 photo shows what an ear of corn will look like, and what the pan will look like, as this step is completed.

Fried Corn - Step 1Step 1 – Slice The Top Half Of The Kernels

2. Scrape the bottom half of the kernels off of these same ears of corn as shown in Photo 2a.

Step 2aStep 2a – Slice The Bottom Half Of The Kernels

This step produces corn milk in the frying pan, as shown in Photo 2b.

Step 2b - Corn Milk

3. For each of the remaining five ears of corn, deep cut the corn down to the ear and pare it off the cob. This will add crunch and texture in the final dish.

Step 3 - Kernels, Corn Milk, Plus CrunchStep 3 – Kernels & Corn Milk, Plus Crunch & Texture

4. Set the stove to medium heat. Place ½ stick of butter into the pan of corn. Heat and stir the corn until it simmers. Adjust and lower the heat as needed.

Step 4 - SimmerStep 4 – Simmer

5. Add the seasoning salt and ground black pepper.

Step 5 - SeasonStep 5 – Season

6. Cook until done, about 15 minutes.

This recipe serves 6 to 10 people, depending on the size of the ears of corn and whether you choose to serve this as a side dish or a standalone treat!

  8. Elle says:

    Wow! This sounds so YUMMY! I can’t wait to try it! we are BIG corn eater in my house since I was diagnosed with the GF allergy, so I’m always looking for more corn recipes to change up our stand by ones! ^_^

  9. I’m curious how it tastes- is it more of a cream corn taste or a grilled corn on the cob taste? LOL-or maybe it’s a mix of both.

      I guess a little of both – it’s creamy but it tastes WAY better than commercial cream corn – it has a very comforting taste. If you are a corn lover, you can happily eat and make a meal out of a bowl of this – it is truly delicious! 🙂

    Looks really good! Thanks for linking up to NOBH

  48. This didn’t sound too appetizing, until I read the recipe. I love fresh sweet corn, but am not a corn off the cob gal. LOL But this one sounds really good and not too much like creamed corn, which has a texture I dislike.

    I’m glad I got to see this one. I missed this at last weekend’s Creation Hop and forgot to stop on by later. I was curious…

  49. Yum! Best made with homegrown corn, right? My mother in law used to grow it every year and sometimes we would just eat corn for dinner…..with maybe some fresh tomatoes. Your version sounds great!
