Old-Fashioned Scalloped Corn

By Hklbrries

With autumn comes the beautiful foliage color changes,cooler temperatures, and fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden. It is these tastey (sic) treats of nature to which we turn our attention in this issue.

Because fresh corn can be frozen, Scalloped Corn is a dish that can be made all through the winter from your own harvest...

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp dry mustard
• Scant 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1/2 onion finely chopped
• 1 cup fresh milk
• 2 cups fresh corn kernels
• 1 egg yolk, beaten
• 1 cup buttered breadcrumbs (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter a 2 quart baking dish. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet and saute the onion on low heat until clear. Stir in the flour mixture and cook, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the milk, continuing to stir constantly, and bring to just boiling. Stir in the egg yolk and corn. Spoon into the buttered baking dish. If desired, sprinkle top with the buttered bread crumbs. Bake for 25 minutes or until the crumbs are light brown and a knife inserted comes out clean. Excellent side dish to crock pot pork chops!
