This dish isn’t quite as greasy as it may sound, if you’re from the Deep South that is! This corn recipe is simply cooked with some bacon grease, butter, milk, and flour, but none the less tastes delicious. And while the recipe requires bacon juice there actually no need for the bacon. However, it serves as a great side.

Cooking Instructions:

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
*Makes about 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

• 6-8 ears of fresh corn, yellow or white
• 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 cup milk, more if needed
• ½ cup water, more if needed
• Salt and pepper

Cooking Steps:

A) Clean and shuck the corn. Rinse the ears.
B) In a mixing bowl, cut the kernels off of the ears. Use the blade to gently scrape down the ear to extract all of the juice from the ears.
C) Using your cast iron skillet (preferably 12-inch) with the bacon juices inside melt the butter. Then add the flour, and corn milk/juice.
D) Let it cook in the cast iron skillet (stirring occasionally) and add water if needed to prevent it from drying out. Cook for 30-45 minutes.
E) Evenly season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy!
