CREAMED CORN - EASY SOUTHERN STYLE

6 medium ears fresh corn
½ c. butter
¼ c water
1 tsp. sugar
½ c. half & half
2 tsp. cornstarch
salt & pepper to taste

Cut corn from cob (about halfway down the kernel), then scrape well. (You could do this the day before and store covered in the fridge.) Place butter in micro-proof casserole dish and microwave until melted. Stir in corn, water and sugar. Cover tightly with plastic and micro HI 3 min. In the meantime, put the cornstarch into the half & half so it will begin dissolving, stir frequently. Stir the corn and give dish ½ turn. Cover again and micro HI 5-7 min. Then stir the half & half mixture into the corn, cover and micro HI 2-3 minutes. Stir well, adding salt & pepper to taste.

This recipe is about 6 servings. If increasing amounts/servings, increase cooking time accordingly. I like combining yellow and white corn for this. Everyone loves this dish.
