Ingredients
✓ 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
✓ 2 tablespoons butter
✓ 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
✓ 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
✓ Salt, to taste
✓ Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
✓ Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven or stove to medium heat (around 200°F / 95°C)
✓ In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it begins to bubble slightly
✓ Pour in the heavy cream or whole milk into the melted butter. Stir gently but continuously until the mixture begins to simmer
✓ Increase the heat slightly to medium (around 180°F / 82°C) and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until you start seeing a slight thickening of the sauce
✓ Add the corn kernels to the simmering sauce. Stir gently to combine and ensure the kernels are evenly distributed throughout the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through but still holds its shape
✓ Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preferences. Taste test and adjust seasoning as needed
✓ For an extra burst of flavor, stir in any desired spices or herbs such as cayenne pepper, chopped jalapeños, fresh thyme, chives, or parsley. Cook for another minute to infuse the flavors
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Stir gently but consistently to avoid breaking down the sauce too much, which can make it watery
