- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk (8oz) more or less as needed for desired consistency

- Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the whole corn kernels, processed corn, corn pulp, salt, pepper and sugar. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the milk and cornstarch mixture. Bring the corn to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the corn is thick and creamy. Add more milk or cornstarch if needed for desired consistency. Serve with extra butter and more ground black pepper if desired.
