Creamy Fresh Corn

This cream style is so delicious. Anna Mae Laster

6-8 ears fresh corn

3 strips bacon, halved

2/3 cup water

1 t. salt

½ t. sugar

¼ cup milk

2 t. flour

1/8 t. pepper

1 T. butter

Husk corn and cut the kernels from the cob. Scrape cob well with a tablespoon to remove all the pulp and milk (there should be 3 cups).

Cook bacon slowly until crisp in an 8 inch skillet; remove and drain on paper towel. Stir corn into hot bacon fat and then add water, salt, and sugar. Stir and cook 5 minutes, uncovered. Stir milk gradually into flour; mix until smooth. Add to corn and stir constantly for a few minutes, or until thickened. Mix in pepper and butter. Serve hot, garnished with bacon. Serves 6.
