How to cook deliciously - Southern Fried Corn

1. Stage

With the flat edge of a chef’s knife or the edge of a large spoon, scrape each corn cob over a plate to collect the starchy “milk.”

2. Stage

Heat the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crisp, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate. Drain excess bacon fat from skillet into a small heatproof bowl, and add 2 tablespoons back into the skillet.

3. Stage

Add corn kernels to the skillet, along with butter, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until corn is softened and lightly browned in spots, 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Stage

Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until flour is smooth and slightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the water and stir to combine (water should reduce almost immediately), until sauce is creamy.

5. Stage

Stir in bacon and 3 tablespoons chives. Serve topped with remaining 1 tablespoon chives.
