- 01
For fresh corn, cut it from the cob . Then use the back of a knife to scrape down the cob to release small bits of corn and corn milk (the liquid released from the cob; see this video ). This adds even more flavor and creaminess to the dish.
- 02
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the corn (with corn milk), cream, milk, salt, sugar, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes until the corn is bright yellow and cooked through.
- 03
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons milk with the flour. Add the flour mixture and the butter to the corn and simmer until thickened, about 90 seconds. Taste and add a bit more salt if desired.

If using, stir in the Parmesan cheese, or transfer to a small casserole dish, sprinkle the top with Parmesan, and broil until melted.
- 05
Top with paprika and parsley and serve.
