Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend the corn until completely smooth. If you want to reduce calories, consider using a low-fat milk or a plant-based alternative. You can also replace margarine with unsalted butter for a richer flavor. This recipe can be made gluten-free by substituting the flour with a gluten-free blend. For extra sweetness, add a bit of vanilla extract.
