Brown Butter Skillet Corn

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
• 4 ears fresh corn (kernels removed from the cob)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: tiny basil leaves for garnish *

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large thick bottomed (not non-stick) skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Let it cook until it foams and then a few moments past that it will turn a light brown color. Be careful not to let it overcook, as burnt butter, with light brown specks that will turn black, is not at all the same.

2. 2

   Add the corn to the skillet and stir to coat all the pieces. Sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper and stir again. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the corn is hot and still crisp. Enjoy!
