“My mama passed this recipe down to me, and now I’m passing it on to my daughter. At our family gatherings, this is always a favorite dish. Fresh corn is best if available, but pre-packaged works as well.” – Deborah Maddox, Michelle’s Mother

Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 ears of corn
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. self-rising flour
  • 4 Tbsp. margarine or butter
  • 1 Tbsp. pepper

  • Add corn kernels to a skillet and cover with water. Salt to taste and cook on medium high for 20 minutes, stirring regularly to keep corn from sticking. 
  • Sprinkle self-rising flour over the corn and stir and reduce heat to slightly below medium.
  • After about 10 minutes, add butter and pepper to corn, continually stirring. 
  • Simmer for a final 15 minutes, adding sugar to the mixture and mixing thoroughly. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
