Recipe notes:
Corn: I like using frozen corn but a can of drained whole kernel corn will also work. You may also sub white shoepeg corn for yellow. Milk: Any type (including plant based) will work! You can also use heavy cream or half and half. Unsalted butter: Salted butter can be used in a pinch, reduce added salt slightly in this case. Pepper: I like to use fresh cracked pepper for best results, but it's not necessary.Instructions
