FAQ

What is the best way to thicken cream corn?

Thicken it up.

Use a cornstarch slurry: for every 2 cups of creamed corn, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Mix in a separate bowl, then add to the creamed corn. Use rice flour: sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of rice flour evenly over the top of the creamed corn and stir.

Is canned creamed corn the same as canned corn?

Creamed Corn is something you love or you hate. Canned varieties don’t have any cream in them — about half the fresh corn kernels are “creamed” or puréed, and the other half are left whole. Recipes to make your own will have you put the corn kernels in an actual cream sauce or white sauce.
