Southern Style Skillet Corn is one of our favorite recipes. 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 - New South Charm

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!

      On a side note, I use some of this recipe in corn bread. So moist and sweet and delicious. I don’t have exact amounts, I would say 3 or 4 tablespoons. You don’t want mushy bread. Play around with it with a box of Jiffy corn bread mix. Be sure to measure and document, which I didn’t do! 🤪

    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!

    This sounds so good. It doesn’t get any better than corn in the summer.

      Except street corn. The first time I had it, I thought I died and went to Heaven.

    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 was trying to find something different for a veggie – this time of year and with the limited groceries available during this pandemic its not like I could run to the store and pick up something. I have a huge bag of corn in the freezer and it will take forever to go through it all so I decided to try this. Usually I’m not a fan of creamed corn in the can but this looked so fresh and good….and it tasted as good as it looked! I only made a half batch because 2 cups of corn for one person….way too much lol. It was so easy to make and these ingredients are staples most have in the kitchen already. Thanks for helping me add some variety to meal time!

    So easy to prepare and the flour/milk slurry added just enough change in the consistency to make a different flavor for an otherwise “same old” corn.

    This is not just everyday corn, but it takes it up to simply delicious! The only thing is the directions don’t say when to add the salt and pepper. I would say it really doesn’t matter when, but make sure to not forget them. If you use salted butter, however, cut back on the amount of salt.
