The way we cook creamed corn(we call it fried corn because we usually cook it in a cast iron skillet-LOL) Cut the corn from the cob. Cook until tender in water/butter/salt/pepper-about 20-30 min on medium. Make a paste from couple tablespoons flour and water. Turn corn on very low and add flour mixture-constantly stirring to prevent lumps. make as thick/thin as you prefer. Ready when you have it thickened to your taste. We never added sugar due to having fresh sweet corn.
