Ingredients

4 corn on the cob about 5 cups of corn (any variety or color)
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
½ jalapenos pepper minced
1-2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
1 tablespoon flour
1½ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½-¾ cup cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Remove the corn's husk and, using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob from top to bottom. Collect the kernels with their juices in a large bowl or cake pan. Using the back of the knife, squeeze the corn milk from the cobs. Repeat with each cob of corn.
Add your butter to a large skillet over medium heat, let it melt, then toss in the garlic, jalapeno peppers, and Creole seasoning. Stir for about a minute until it's fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine fresh corn, flour, and milk, stirring until the flour absorbs into the liquid.
Add the corn mixture to the pan, followed by the Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
Bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. If desired, you may add cream at this point. Continue cooking for 7-10 minutes or more, depending on your preferred thickness.

Notes

For an extra smooth and creamy creamed corn, blend up about ½ of the corn before cooking.
If, when you've finished cooking this meal, it seems too thick to you, adjust the consistency by adding milk, a little at a time, until it's perfectly creamy.
You can also use frozen or canned corn in place of fresh corn.
Serve with extra butter if you want more buttery flavor into it.
