• 2. Add the corn saute, stirring often for about 7 minutes or until tender. Make sure you don't scorch it. Set aside and make the cream.
• 3. In another skillet, over medium heat, brown the flour, stirring often, not to burn. About 4 minutes.
• 4. In a 2 cup measuring cup, measure out 1 cup of half and half and to this add 3/4 cup cream. Stir. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the flour, smoothing out any lumps. Cook until starting to thicken and bubble.
• 5. Return corn to burner over medium heat, pour the cream mixture over the corn and stir to evenly distribute. Cook for another 4 - 5 minutes. If too thick for your taste, thin out with more half and half. Stir in bacon, basil, nutmeg, butter, salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt if needed.

PANFRIED QUAIL AND CREAMED CORN WITH BACON

Steps:

• With poultry shears or a sharp knife cut off necks, feet, and first 2 wing joints of each quail and discard. Cut out and discard backbones. Halve each quail lengthwise through breast and cut off legs. In a shallow bowl stir together flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Pour milk into another shallow bowl. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 360°F.
• While oil is heating, working with 1 quail piece at a time dip half of pieces in milk, letting excess drip off, and dredge in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Arrange floured pieces on a tray. With tongs lower floured pieces, skin sides down, into hot oil. Fry quail, turning several times, until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Keep quail warm. Return oil to 360°F. and coat and fry remaining quail in same manner.
• Serve quail with lemon wedges and creamed corn.
