Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
1 1/2 cups milk, whole warmed or light cream
3 cups corn kernels cut from about 5 ears of corn
1 x salt to taste
1 x white pepper to taste
Add for variety
1 x chives chopped
1 x sweet red bell pepper julienne strips
1 x green bell pepper julienne strips
1 x carrot shredded
1 x mushrooms sauteed button
1 pinch curry powder
1 x bacon crumbled

Directions

Melt butter, stir in flour. Add milk slowly, stirring with whisk until completely blended, thickened and gently bubbling. Add kernels and simmer about 3 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper.

Leftover Creamed Corn; pureed in blender or food processor, makes a quick sauce for shrimp, scallops or crab. Mix cooked seafood into corn sauce, simmer gently and spoon over a toasted English muffin.

Although any variety of fresh corn will do, white, thin-skinned kernels make a superb creamed vegetable dish.

Blue Ribbon Banana Cake with Creamy Nut Filli

This was an excellent recipe. Everyone loved the height and restaurant look to this dessert. The White Snow Frosting recipe was missing the amount for the icing sugar, I started with 2 cups and it was perfect, frosted the entire cake. The frosting was stiff and had a tendency to pull up the coconut from the top layer it ended up with a professional look.
