Don't try this with canned or frozen corn - it just won't taste the same. I'm saving some of my older relatives' recipes here - you'll know them because they'll have their names. Sadie lived in Stoneville, NC, near Winston-Salem. She could really cook! She's the one that had the cabinet with the flour bin built in - the Hoosier cabinet. When fresh corn comes in season again, hope you enjoy this dish.
