Prep time: 5 min
Cooking time: 20 min

  • Step 1

    Remove the papery husks and any stringy bits from the cobs. Stand on their ends and cut off the kernels.

  • Step 2

    Melt the butter and oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and fry gently for about 8 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add the corn kernels, cream, thyme and paprika. Season and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

  • Step 4

    For a creamier texture, purée a little of the mixture and stir back in.
