ZAM Family Creamed Corn
Warning: This recipe is not for the faint of heart. It makes a LOT of creamed corn and it’s chock full of calories. This is our once-a-year, balls-to-the-wall side dish treat, and it has served 16 with leftovers.

8 oz. heavy whipping cream
8 oz. milk
1 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 T. butter
