Ingredients

6 ears of silver queen corn (or other white corn)
1/4 cup onion, finely diced (I like to use chopped green onion to add another color)
1/2 cup bacon drippings
1/2 cup butter, divided
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 cup milk or 1 cup if you want it to be ultra rich use half-and-half

Directions

1

Over a large cast-iron skillet (or a nice, heavy skillet), cut and scrape the corn off the cobs so that you get the milky corn liquid. Add the onions to the skillet. Turn the heat to high.
2

Add the bacon drippings and 1/4 cup of the butter to the skillet. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 3 minutes, browning the corn before stirring. Reduce the heat to medium.
3

Stir in the milk and continue cooking until the milk is absorbed. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter. Cook until the butter is melted and mixed throughout.
