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!
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.
Step 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 2a – Slice The Bottom Half Of The Kernels
This step produces corn milk in the frying pan, as shown in Photo 2b.
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 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.
5. Add the seasoning salt and ground black pepper.
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!

Mmm, that looks really tasty…Corn on the cob has always been a favorite “stand alone” in my family, so I know we will enjoy this recipe…thanks for sharing it!
Mmm – looks fantastic!
yummm!! we also do that with coco milk 😀
Wow! That looks pretty amazing.
Loving your blog btw
Oh I love that stuff! My mouth is watering looking at your photos of the fried corn. I would love for you to show this off at my Wickedly Crafty Saturdays! http://wiccanmakesometoo.blogspot.com/2011/09/wickedly-crafty-saturdays-90311.html
Looks fantastic! I love corn. What a versatile veggie.
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! ^_^
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! 🙂
I’ve never prepared corn this way before – thanks for sharing the recipe!

I love corn anyway you fix it. What you prepared certainly looks tasty.
I can remember spending summers sitting on my great-grandmother’s porch with a gaggle of other folk as we put up corn. Alot was removed from the cob like what you said and then frozen for fried corn. Thanks for bringing me back that memory.
Looks delicious! Too bad the hubby is allergic to corn 🙁
this look so delicious! i hope to try it, i love fresh corn!

Looks really good! Thanks for linking up to NOBH
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…
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!
