  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or paprika for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, measure out the required amount.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
