  • Once the butter is melted, taste the corn and add salt and pepper. About ½ tsp of each should be about right depending on your tastes.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain off the water from the can and use fresh water.
  • To really add flavor, use broth instead of water. 
  • PRO TIP: Bringing out the corns natural flavor only requires butter, salt, pepper and sugar BUT if you REALLY want to add a lot of flavor add just a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 tsp of lemon juice. It'll make your mouth happy!
