Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 cups sweet corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and stir in the corn, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water.
  3. Once the corn has cooked for 10 minutes, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

It may not be authentic, but I enjoy adding 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika along with the other seasonings in step 1. Smoked paprika would be great, too!
