How To Make fried corn

Step 1

Melt the bacon fat and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the onion and corn and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and the corn is tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to release any stuck-on caramelized bits.
Step 3

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
