Directions
Fried Corn – Bev’s Style, For a real treat, when you tire of the corn ON the cob this summer, give my version of Fried Corn a try It is very easy and takes little time while preparing the rest of the meal My mom always fixed fried corn this way when I was growing up She used milk, but the half and half gives it a little richer taste Trust me, if you try this, you will want to have it again ; ), When my brother and I were in our teens, My dad would take us up to his Uncle Elemer and Aunt Rosies Farm and leave us every spring to help with the strawberry picking We would be up there about two weeks and in the mornings we would pick berries and in the afternoons we would go with Uncle Elmer in his old Nash Rambler and deliver berries to all the small town markets in Central Indiana where we lived In addition to the huge breakfasts and nourishing lunches, Aunt Rosie would outdo herself with the supper meals, all of it grown right there on the farm, fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy and applesauce, and of course fried corn Eating her corn was where I learned that there were more than one way to eat corn I still like corn on the cob a whole lot, but the fried corn fixed just the way this recipe calls for, is my favorite corn meal By the way, the longer you cook it, the more developed the flavor gets I like it firm and chewy the best Thanks for helping bring back memories , I made this because Bev made it for the Family Tree Name Game and it sounded so good! And it is! I think it is VERY good; my family said 4 stars That’s ok, I can eat the whole bowl myself 🙂 Thanks for posting Bev, and thanks for bringing it to my attentin Luvin’ Texas Bev!
