Recipe Notes

  1. For the best texture and flavor use fresh corn off the cobs; you can also use frozen corn but it needs to be thawed and patted dry (as best as possible). If you want to use canned corn, go for whole kernel corn, drain it, rinse and pat dry.
  2. If the mixture seems too dry after mixing all ingredients, add a tablespoon or more of the half and half; you can also use whole milk
