Southern-style creamed corn (microwave)

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 mediums Ears fresh corn
¼ cup Butter or margarine
¼ cup Butter
1 teaspoon Sugar
½ cup Half-and-half
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

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

Place butter in a 2-quart casserole, and microwave at HIGH for 1 minute or until melted; stir in corn, water, and sugar. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave at high for 3 minutes; stir well, and give dish a half-turn. Cover and microwave at HIGH for 5 to 7 minutes or until corn is done.

Combine remaining ingredients, and beat with a wire whisk until cornstarch is dissolved; add to corn, mixing well. Cover and microwave at HIGH for 2 to 2-½ minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring at 1-minute intervals. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
