Southern Fried Sweet Corn recipe

Step 1

Shuck and silk the corn. Cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife into a bowl. Scrape down the cob to remove any juice that is left. This is what makes the corn creamy, so don't skip this step.

Step 2

In a skillet heat together the bacon drippings and the butter.

Step 3

Add the fresh corn kernels; cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Lower heat if necessary to keep the butter from burning.

Step 4

Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning, and add about 1 teaspoon of sugar if desired.
