Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice

4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 8 ears)

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Preparation

Stir together flour, sugar, salt, ginger, and white pepper in a small bowl.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes (do not brown). Add corn; cook, stirring, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flour mixture, tossing to coat; cook 1 minute. Add cream; cook, stirring, until corn is tender and mixture is thickened, about 3 minutes.
