– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup milk

Instructions
Creating Homemade Creamed Corn is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, shuck the ears and remove the kernels with a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, thaw it first.
2. Melt Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it’s bubbly.
3. Add Corn: Stir in the corn kernels and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
4. Combine Cream and Milk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
5. Add Cream Mixture: Pour the cream mixture over the corn in the skillet, stirring to combine.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The corn should be tender, and the sauce will thicken slightly.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the creamed corn and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
