Savory Buttered Corn with a Sweet Kick
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen corn
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by measuring out all your ingredients to have them ready. This ensures a smooth cooking process.
2. Melt the Butter:
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat on the stove.
- Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, being cautious not to brown it. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
3. Cook the Corn:
- Once the butter is melted, add the frozen corn to the skillet. Stir the corn evenly to coat it with the butter.
- Cook the corn for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's thoroughly heated and tender.
4. Season the Corn:
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the corn, followed by the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Stir continuously to ensure all the kernels are coated with the sugar and spices. Allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and slight caramelization of sugar occurs.
5. Adjust Seasoning and Serve:
- Taste the corn and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to suit your taste preferences.
- Transfer the buttery corn to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh black pepper if desired.
