Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ears corn, husked
- 4 cups (950 ml) milk
- 2 cups (475 ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (115 g/1 stick) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 tbsps chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Corn Stock Preparation: Separate corn kernels from cobs, then submerge stripped cobs in water. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes to create an intense corn-infused stock. Strain and reserve liquid.
- Roux Foundation: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Introduce flour and whisk continuously, developing a golden-brown roux within 2 minutes to build a rich flavor base.
- Cream Integration: Gradually blend milk and heavy cream into the roux, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture. Simmer until the mixture thickens and develops a velvety consistency, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Flavor Layering: Pour reserved corn stock into the cream base, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, melding flavors and achieving desired thickness for 5 minutes.
- Final Assembly: Add corn kernels to the creamy sauce, cooking for 2 minutes until tender. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, stirring to incorporate vibrant herbal notes.
