Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Using a sharp knife, cut the corn kernels from the cobs and set aside.
-
Step 2.
In a large pan over medium heat, add the bacon fat. Once the grease is hot, add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Sprinkle the flour over the corn and cook, stirring constantly, until the raw flour smell is gone, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the half-and-half and stir until well incorporated.
-
Step 4.
Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook until the creamed corn thickens to your preference, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
