Creamed Corn Recipe

6 medium ears fresh corn

1/4 c butter or margarine

1/4 c water

1/2 c milk or half-and-half

2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp white pepper

Cut corn from cobs, scraping cobs well to remove all milk. 

Combine corn, butter, and water in a heavy saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat 10 minutes or until corn is done, stirring occasionally.

Combine remaining ingredients, beating with a whisk until cornstarch is blended; add to corn, stirring well. Cover and cook 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring often. 

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
