I love this Southern Creamed Corn. Granny and Granny Teakell made this creamed corn. Fresh corn cut off the cob cooked in a little bacon drippings, heavy cream, and a little sugar? Oh, my gosh! So good! It is creamy and a little sweet, still with texture from the corn kernels.
I made this Sunday with my Oven Fried Chicken and a few other Southern dishes. Allen loved it. And the great thing is I had a little left that I’ll add to Jalapeño Cornbread. Or what about Creamed Corn Fritters? Delish. I don’t have a link for them on my site YET, but I will. Here’s a link from Deep South for Cream Corn Fritters that sounds yummy: https://www.deepsouthdish.com/2011/08/corn-fritters.html
