10 tender ears of green corn
500 ml milk
1 tablespoon butter
10 tender ears of green corn
500 ml milk
1 tablespoon butter
Where to find ingredients
Fresh green corn cobs can be found at local fresh produce markets or vegetable stalls in grocery stores. For the milk and butter, any standard dairy section in local supermarkets will suffice.
Preparation method
- Grate all the corn cobs using a grater or slice the kernels off with a knife and process them in a blender with the milk.
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to discard the fibrous pulp, ensuring a smooth and silky base.
- Stir the sugar and butter into the strained corn cream.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a glossy, porridge-like consistency.
- Transfer the hot curau into serving dishes lightly moistened with water and allow it to cool and set before serving.
