Ingredients

1 can of corn
1 t. butter
salt & pepper

Instructions

Open your canned corn and drain half of its water using the strainer.
Now pour the remaining water and corn into your pan.
Turn the heat up to medium.
In a slow circular blending motion, stir the corn along with the water so as to keep the heating equal in the whole mix.
Once the water starts to boil around 2 minutes, lower down the heat a bit and continue for another stirring for another minute.
Remove the pan and pour the whole mix using into your strainer to drain the water.
Place a teaspoon of butter into the pan.
After the butter is melted, pour back the boiled corn into the pan.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper or as desired.

Notes

PRO TIPS: For a spicy-sweet combination, you may squeeze in a small amount of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your sweet corn.
If you want to enhance the smell while adding a “kick” to the naturally sweet corn taste, try adding a pinch of cinnamon powder mix.
