STORY BEHIND THE DISH:

The recipe came from Odis' mother. When I lived with them during WW-II and Odis was overseas. I wanted a copy of this recipe, but mother did not have a written recipe, so when she made it I watched her and wrote down her measurements. I have used it ever since, and all our children and grandchildren have a copy in their recipe file. I make it for all special occasions. Members of our church, Grace Methodist Church, want it for every month's Keenagers Lunch and all family special occasions.

DIRECTIONS:

Melt margarine in 2 large pans. Add corn (thawed if frozen). Cook over very low fire as it sticks easily. Stir often & watch closely. Cook for approximately 10 min. Add milk stirring constantly. Cook until it simmers. Mix flour and sugar with water. Remove corn from fire. Gradually add flour & sugar mixture to corn. Mix well. Return to fire and cook until thickened. Add salt to taste. Stir and finish cooking. Serves 8.
