Devonshire corn

Devonshire Corn is a traditional recipe originating from the Devonshire region in England, which has transcended borders and been adapted in various Latin American countries under different names and variations. This dish combines the natural sweetness of corn with the creaminess of dairy products, offering an ideal accompaniment for various meals. In countries like Mexico and Argentina, similar recipes are known as "creamy corn" or "au gratin corn," although each region adds its unique touch with different seasonings and preparation techniques.

Corn has been a fundamental ingredient in Latin American cuisine for centuries, and the Devonshire version fuses this tradition with European influences in the way of preparing and seasoning the corn. The original recipe is characterized by its soft and creamy texture, with a balance between sweetness and spicy flavors that make it a delicious and comforting side dish.

How to Prepare Devonshire Corn

To begin preparing Devonshire corn, combine the frozen corn, whipping cream, milk, and seasonings (salt, nutmeg, sugar, cayenne pepper, and white pepper) in a saucepan, and bring to a boil while stirring constantly.

Once the mixture has boiled, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes without covering, continuing to stir to prevent it from sticking or burning.

Finally, mix the butter with the flour, and gradually add small pieces of this mixture to the corn preparation, integrating them well. Cook for 2 more minutes so the mixture thickens, achieving the creamy texture characteristic of this dish.

Enjoy this delicious accompaniment that will enhance your meals with its mild and spicy flavor.
