Southern Style Skillet Corn is one outhouse recipes that once you’re tried it you’ll make it again and again. It’s so good even the pickiest eaters will love it!
Southern Style Skillet Corn is a recipe I’ve been making since my husband I married. I’ve memorized the recipe so I can’t tell you where I found it. We both like how sweet and creamy the corn is. It’s a great side dish for pork, bar-b-que, chicken wings, or well just about anything that you’d enjoy with corn on the cob.
I haven’t shared a side dish with y’all in a few weeks so I thought that today I would share one of our favorites. My hubby loves when I make this dish. In fact he has been known to request it. Of course I’m only too happy to make it.
In the summer this recipe is great to make with fresh corn cut off the cob. When there isn’t fresh corn available I make it with frozen corn kernels. No need to defrost them first just drop them in the skillet still frozen.
This is a really easy side dish. Begin by combining butter, water, sugar and corn over medium heat. Cover and simmer for fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the corn is simmering; whisk together milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth.
At the end of fifteen minutes turn heat to low and pour milk and flour mixture over the corn and stir constantly for five minutes. The corn should be creamy and slightly thickened.
Thank you so much for reading!
Happy Cooking Y’all!

these look delicious! thanks so much for sharing at #merrymonday !
This looks so great! Would never have thought to do this with corn.
My Grandpa used to add milk to canned corn, he said it made it taste fresher. This recipe reminded me of that. Looks great, going to try!
Don’t you just love old family recipes? I hope you like the recipe as much as we do. Thanks for stopping by!

This sounds so good. It doesn’t get any better than corn in the summer.
Sounds like a winner, a perfect side dish to all those summer meals.
I love this recipe! I grew up with canned creamed corn but just can’t stomach it anymore. This recipe keeps the integrity and flavor of the corn! Perfect for Thanksgiving too! Oh gosh where did that come from.
I just made this and it’s amazing 🤗. I used a can of whole corn, drained, since it’s what I had. I also added in green onion and bacon bits when I added the milk mixture. Will definitely make it again!
How great your dish is! Can canned corn be used in this recipe? Can i mix the butter on the corn while it was cooking on the stove then put it on medium-low heat
Lisa,
Of course you can use canned corn if you prefer. I like to use frozen because I think it’s a little crisper but you an certainly use whatever you have on hand! Thanks for stopping by, Susanne
Made this last night and it was a big hit! It was delicious and so easy to make. A definite keeper. Instead of milk I used fat free half and half – amazing! Even the picky granddaughter liked it. Thanks for the recipe!
I just made this with frozen corn and jalapeño. Wow. This is jam! I had to add a little extra water and milk, minor details:)
Thank you! It is sooooo good!!!!
