Friend 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!
The 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.
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.
Step 4 – Simmer
5. Add the seasoning salt and ground black pepper.
Step 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!

oh yeah…this is right up my alley—we are still getting sweet corn around here–which is just about the only good thing about living in a place without seasons 🙂 thank you for sharing another wonderful recipe with tuesday night supper club.
I’ll have to give this a try. My mother fried her corn on the cob, literally. When I saw this in a linky it reminded me of her doing that. This would require more work but would be easier for the kids to eat! thanks
I have had this dish many times and always wanted the recipe, now I have it. Thanks!
I love fried corn. This receipe is similar to my moms. Yum! I’m trying t convince her to make some soon. 🙂
