Creamy Corn

I'm due for a few new recipes, and I just ate so I'm waiting a little bit before I go workout. You all are benefiting from this! You're welcome. :-)

This recipe is one of our new favorite side dishes. It goes well with everything and the portion is huge!

POINTS® Value: 2
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 7 min
Cooking Time: 16 min (it doesn't take this long when we make it - maybe I keep my burner too hot)

Ingredients
2 tsp butter
1/4 cup(s) scallion(s), minced
2 1/2 cup(s) frozen corn kernels, or fresh corn (no need to thaw frozen corn)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
1/8 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
Instructions
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Add corn and sauté 1 minute to heat through (or slightly longer if using frozen corn). Add flour and stir to coat corn and scallions. Add milk and bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, until mixture thickens, about 10 to 12 minutes; season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
