Cut the kernels off the corn cob using a sharp knife and a bundt pan.

Saute onions and bacon together in a 12-inch cast iron skillet until the bacon renders its fat.

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat in the bacon fat.

Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of flour over the corn and stir for about a minute.

Pour in a mixture of heavy cream and whole milk, stirring to combine.

Cook on low for about 25-30 minutes until the corn is tender, stirring occasionally.

Add a couple tablespoons of butter and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, stirring until the butter melts.
