- 1/3 cup butter salted or unsalted is fine
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 5 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen (thawed)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Melt the butter in a medium-size heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. When melted, add the flour and whisk over low heat for 2 minutes, cooking out the flour.
Meanwhile, heat the milk and cream in the microwave or in a pot. It should be hot but not boiling.
Add the hot milk/cream mixture to the flour and butter mixture in a steady stream, whisking while adding.
When all the milk/cream is in, turn the heat to medium-low and cook while whisking for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture is thickened and has started to bubble.
Simmer the bechamel sauce for 2-3 minutes while whisking.
Add the corn kernels, salt and pepper. Mix well and heat through over medium heat while stirring. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Adjust the salt and pepper if necessary, serve and enjoy!
