directions

  • With a sharp knife, slice the kernels from the cob to yield about 3 cups; you don't need to cut too deeply since you only really want the tender tips of the kernels.
  • Place the kernels in a medium bowl; working with one cob at a time, stand the cob in the bowl and use the back of your knife to scrape the milk from the cob.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat and add the shallots, cooking, and stirring, until softened, about 1 minute; add the corn, cream, and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • Simmer gently, stirring frequently, until cream has thickened, about 5 minutes; season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

  3. We loved it . . . so sweet and creamy! Did not have any shallots, so used a little sweet onion, guess I'll just have to make it again! :-D The hardest part is cutting from the cob. Thanks for sharing
