Old Fashioned Parched Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
• In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add melted butter, sugar, and milk. Whisk in cornstarch. Stir in corn and creamed corn. Blend well. Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish.
• Bake for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter one 8x11x2 inch casserole dish.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the creamed corn, eggs, 1/4 cup of the melted butter and 1/2 of the cracker crumbs. Pour mixture in into the prepared dish.
• In a small bowl, mix the remaining melted butter, cracker crumbs, paprika and pepper. Sprinkle crumb topping over the casserole.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until topping browns slightly and corn is bubbly around the edges.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, (seasoned cast iron does well here) cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Turn off the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the drippings in the pan.
• On a cutting board, cut the stalk ends of the corn cobs to make a flat surface; stand them up and shave the corn from the cobs with a sharp chef's knife. Return the skillet to medium-low heat, and add the corn kernels. With the back of the knife, firmly scrape the cobs over a shallow plate to extract as much liquid (milk) as possible and add it to the skillet.
• Season corn lightly with salt and pepper and cook until broken down and creamy, about 30 to 45 minutes, stirring often; add water if the pan gets too dry.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In hot skillet melt lard.
• Add salt and shelled corn.
• Stir until a rich golden brown.
• Remove from skillet and let cool.

Steps:

• Cut corn from cobs; place in a large bowl. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until sugar dissolves, 1-2 minutes. Pour mixture over corn; cool. Transfer to jars, if desired; seal tightly. Refrigerate at least 2 hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
