Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears of corn)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional, for added richness)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the kernels from fresh ears of corn by holding each ear upright on a cutting board and carefully slicing downward with a sharp knife. Collect approximately 3 cups of corn kernels.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Step 3
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter. Cook the corn for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften.
Step 4
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper over the corn. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the corn for an additional 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 6
If desired, stir in the heavy cream during the last 2 minutes of cooking to add extra richness to the dish.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the corn to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.
Step 8
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to accompany any meal.
