Creamed Corn

I was surprised that this super healthy version of creamed corn tasted as good as it did. The Mr. LOVES it and so do I. It is fast to make with little prep, perfect for a weekday side dish. I found this delicious recipe in Weight Watchers PointsPlus Best Darn Food Ever Cookbook. This is another one of my favorite cookbooks, so many low point dishes in there!

Serves 6 (2/3 cup per serving)

2 tsp unsalted butter

1 1/2 tsp flour
