Easy Creamed Corn

Step 1

Melt the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook it for a minute or so, stirring nearly constantly.

Step 2

Whisk in the half-and-half, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Make sure that there's no lumps.

Step 3

Stir in the corn. After about 10 minutes, it should start to bubble. Once it's bubbling, turn the heat down so it's simmering gently.

Step 4

Cook the corn for another 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and the corn is nice and plump. Keep an eye on it, and stir it occasionally.

Step 5

Add salt & pepper as needed (I'm pretty generous with the salt).
