How to Make ‘Magic Corn’ at Home: A Foolproof Recipe for Everyone
Introducing a ‘Magic Corn’ recipe that even novice cooks can master with confidence. We’ve made it even easier and quicker by using canned corn. Its savory and sweet flavor profile is perfect as a beer snack!
Essential Ingredients- 2 cans of corn (drained)
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter)
- 3 Tbsp milk (optional, for a creamier texture)
- 2-4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- 1 tsp chili powder (to taste)
- Pinch of parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the canned corn thoroughly in a sieve. Excess water can cause the corn to clump together when sautéing.
Step 2
In a pan over medium-low heat, melt 2 Tbsp of butter. Add 3 Tbsp of mayonnaise and 2 Tbsp of sugar. These three core ingredients form the base of our ‘magic’ sauce! For an even creamier consistency, stir in 3 Tbsp of milk. (If you are using salted butter, you can skip adding extra salt later. If using unsalted butter, add just a tiny pinch of salt to season.)
Step 3
Gently simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring until the butter and sugar are completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Be careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the drained corn to the pan and sauté with the sauce, ensuring each kernel is evenly coated. Mix well as you stir.
Step 5
Continue to cook until the moisture has evaporated and the sauce has thickened, coating the corn kernels nicely. Sautéing until it’s slightly crispy makes it even tastier! Once done, turn off the heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, chili powder, and parsley flakes according to your preference. Your delicious ‘Magic Corn’ is ready!
