Texas Creamed Corn with Mill-King Whole Milk & Charred Scallions

Serves 4 | Ready in 20 minutes

Sweet, fresh corn simmered with rich whole milk, caramelized scallions, and a hint of smoked paprika. It’s the perfect side for grilled mains, holiday tables, or a cozy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:
3 cups fresh Texas sweet corn kernels (from ~4 ears) or frozen

1 cup Mill-King Market & Creamery Whole Milk

2 tbsp cultured butter

2 scallions, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

½ tsp smoked paprika

Salt & pepper to taste

Optional: 1 tsp flour or 1 tbsp cream for extra thickness

Fresh chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions:
Char the Scallions:
In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, add chopped scallions and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly blackened and softened. Add butter and garlic; sauté for 1 minute more.

Simmer the Corn:
Add corn kernels to the pan and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Pour in Mill-King whole milk and bring to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until the corn is tender and the milk slightly thickened.

(Optional) Thicken:
For a richer texture, stir in 1 tsp flour or 1 tbsp cream and simmer another 2–3 minutes.

Finish & Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon into a bowl and top with chopped herbs or an extra drizzle of melted butter.
