Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ears corn, shucked
2 cups water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut corn from cobs (reserve cobs) and put in a large saucepan with water, butter, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Simmer over medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, scrape cobs in a small saucepan to extract "milk." Whisk in cream and flour. Boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, 1 minute.
