I enjoy most of her content, but its her#PretendCookingShowReels that I love most.
In her latest episode, she works alongside her mom to make creamed corn.
Heres what I learned about making Grandmom Corn.
The video begins with Garners mom removing the kernels of corn from the cob.
Next, the corn and juices are transferred to a skillet, along with a small amount of water.
Garners mom sets the skillet on the stove and adds butter, a little slab at a time.
After stirring and tasting to confirm things are delicious, its ready for serving.
I can see why the dish is a family favorite.
And if youre looking for a nondairy version, you could always substitute the milk with adairy-free alternative.
