Ingredients
- 6 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silks, then rinse the ears under cold water to clean them thoroughly.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Stand each ear of corn upright in a deep bowl or on a cutting board, and cut straight down the sides to remove the kernels. Be sure to capture any juices that escape from the corn while cutting.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the freshly cut corn kernels to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the corn and pour in the water.
Step 6
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the corn is tender and heated through. If the pan dries out too quickly, add a splash more water as needed.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy the fresh, sweet flavors of this simple yet delicious recipe.
