CREAM STYLE WHITE FIELD CORN

Ingredients:

6 to 12 ears of white 'field corn' (grown by farmers mostly for livestock)
Water
Butter
Salt and pepper

Directions:

After shucking and silking each ear of corn, wash thoroughly. Use large bowl or pan and work over the sink to minimize the mess. Take a very sharp knife and split each row of kernels down the center. Slice tips of split kernels into the bowl. Using a large spoon or the back of a table knife, scrape each ear from top to bottom. Ensure these scrapings make it into the bowl with the kernels. Add a little water, salt and pepper and butter in a heavy saucepan. Cook on low, stirring often. Cook until very thick. Serve hot.

The secrets to this dish are:

1. The type of corn,
2. The way the corn is cut,
3. Butter for flavor,
4. Don't burn,
5. Don't overcook,
6. Sharp knives.
