Instructions

Melt butter over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan until the butter starts to foam.
Once the foaming settles, you will start to see the milk solids browning.
Turn the heat down a touch and continue to stir until the milk solids are golden and you smell a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the butter, this can happen very quickly.
Add diced shallots and salt and cook until fragrant.
Then add corn, another dash of salt, and cook until well softened. You can cover the pan to speed up this process, just turn the heat down to low.
Transfer the corn to a blender while still hot, along with water or stock to help get the blades spinning, and blend for several minutes on high until silky and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Pass through a sieve and store.
