Brookville Hotel Creamed Corn

If you think corn is destined to be boring and uninspired, think again. This thick, creamy, and slightly sweetened Southern-style corn proves that a side dish can be a star in its own right.

ingredients
2 1/2 pounds frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup whipping cream, divided use
2 teaspoons cornstarch, or more if needed
directions
Place the corn in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the salt, sugar, and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer.
Combine the remaining 1/4 cup whipping cream and cornstarch, whisking until the cornstarch is dissolved. Slowly stir the cream mixture into the corn.
Cook the creamed corn, stirring frequently, until it is the desired thickness. Serve the creamed corn hot.
recipe tips
For added flavor, saute some diced onions or bell peppers before adding the corn to the saucepan.
To make the dish even creamier, stir in a bit of cream cheese or grated cheese at the end of cooking.
Try different herbs and spices such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or fresh parsley to enhance the flavor.
If the creamed corn is too thick, thin it out with a little extra cream or milk.
To make a more indulgent version, stir in cooked and crumbled bacon before serving.
To reheat leftovers, gently warm the creamed corn on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
common recipe questions
Can I use fresh corn instead of frozen corn?
Yes, fresh corn can be used, but may require longer cooking time to soften.
Can I use canned corn instead of frozen?
Yes, canned corn can be used without having to alter the cooking time.
What is the purpose of adding cornstarch to the creamed corn?
Cornstarch acts as a thickening agent to help achieve the desired creamy consistency.
Can I use half-and-half instead of whipping cream?
Yes, half-and-half can be used as a lighter alternative to whipping cream, but it won't be as thick so you may need to increase the amount of cornstarch used.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the creamed corn?
Adjust the amount of sugar to taste, adding more or less as desired.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Creamed corn is best served fresh, but you can prepare it ahead of time and reheat gently over low heat with a little extra cream if it seems dry.
How long can I store leftovers?
Leftover creamed corn can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen but it may lose a bit of its texture upon thawing.
tools needed
Large Saucepan: For cooking the corn and whipping cream mixture over medium-high heat. Choose a saucepan with a large capacity to accommodate all the ingredients.
Whisk: For combining the whipping cream and cornstarch until smooth and making sure the cornstarch is dissolved.
Stirring Spoon or Spatula: For stirring the corn and whipping cream mixture as it cooks over medium-high heat. A long-handled spoon or spatula is ideal for reaching the bottom of the saucepan.
what goes with it?
Cornbread: You know what they say, corn on corn! (they don't really say that but it sounds delicious). The crumbly texture and slightly sweet taste of this three-ingredient cornbread will be the perfect match for this creamy corn dish.
Fried Chicken: Nothing says Southern comfort food like fried chicken. The crispy, savory goodness of the southern fried chicken will contrast beautifully with the creamy sweetness of the corn. Plus, this is how the Brookville Hotel traditionally served the corn.
Bacon: Everything is better with bacon, right? The smoky, salty flavor of bacon will add an extra layer of deliciousness when stirred into to this already flavorful corn dish.
beverage pairings
Wine Pairings
Chardonnay: Chardonnay's buttery notes can complement the creaminess of the corn, while its acidity can cut through any richness. Look for a lightly oaked Chardonnay for a touch of vanilla.
Sauvignon Blanc: With its zesty citrus flavors and herbaceous notes, Sauvignon Blanc can bring a refreshing contrast to the rich and sweet corn.
Rose: A dry rose can be both versatile and fun here. Its light and fruity characteristics can balance the creaminess of the corn.
Other Alcohol Pairings
Bourbon: An oaky bourbon with a hint of sweetness can harmonize with the sugar in the creamed corn. The vanilla and caramel undertones in the bourbon can bring out the flavors in the dish.
Pilsner: Crisp and refreshing, a pilsner can be a great match for the creamy corn.
Moscow Mule: If you're feeling a little adventurous, a Moscow Mule could add a kick to your meal. The ginger beer's spiciness can contrast nicely with the sweetness of the creamed corn.
Non-Alcoholic Pairings
Lemonade: A glass of fresh lemonade can cut through the richness of the creamed corn while adding a vibrant citrusy note.
Iced Chai Latte: The warm spices in an iced chai latte can echo the flavors in the creamed corn.
Sweet Tea: A classic Southern choice, sweet tea's sweetness can complement the slightly sweetened creamed corn. Its refreshing quality can balance out the richness of the dish.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Loved this. I didn't have frozen corn so used 2 cans of cream and 1 can of whole kernel(drained). The next day I used leftovers to make corn chowder by adding chicken broth. Very good too!

We were invited to Easter dinner with some new relatives (through a couple of marriages-lol) and I asked what I could bring. Well, when I was told a side of corn, I was a little disappointed, I mean corn is corn is corn, right? Corn on the cob was suggested, but I had no idea how many people would be there and CotC can get quite messy for little girls in cute little dresses. So I purchased a 5lb bag of frozen corn (which I think tastes so fresh it's amazing) and went in search of something new. I already had creamed corn on my mind, but didn't know of anyway to make it other than the medium white sauce with cornstarch. When I found this recipe, I thought it sounds good and hoped it would turn out ok. Well, I cooked it right after church and drove the 15 minutes to the gathering, so it was still so nice and hot when we arrived. Well, it was the absolute hit of the dinner!!! Everyone was raving about it and going back for seconds (good thing I went with 5 pounds of corn0lol). I will definitely add this to my all time favorite recipes and I lvoe the fact that you can adjust the servings right on the site. Thank you for making my simple corn side dish become the queen for a day :)

I have always enjoyed canned cream corn but my family hates it. Last night I found this recipe on line but since there were only 2 of us for dinner, I didn't need a lot. I adjusted the recipe putting the 1/2 lb.corn, whipping cream, salt and sugar in a covered bowl in the microwave for three minutes. I then stirred it, cooked for two more minutes. Mixed a little cornstarch in some cream, stirred it into the corn and cooked for 2 more minutes. It was great, easy and I will definetly make it again.

I grew up about 20 minutes from the Brookville hotel that used to make this wonderful recipe as part of their infamous fried chicken dinners. I now make this recipe every holiday with rave reviews. So easy and yummy, and its nice that you can make a wonderful side dish stove top while your oven is occupied.
