Description

Serve your corn a little different this year prepared in brown butter. It isn't difficult to do and is such a treat when finished.

Ingredients

• 3 T. butter, at room temperature
• 4 ears fresh corn kernels, removed from the cob
• 1 t. sugar
• 1/2 t. Kosher salt
• 1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper
• fresh tiny basil leaves, if desired for garnish

Steps

1. In a large thick bottomed (not a non-stick) skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter; let cook until it foams, 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. Add corn to the skillet; stir to coat all of the pieces. Sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper; stir; cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until corn is hot, but still crisp.
3. Serve, garnished with tiny basil leaves for garnish, if desired.
