Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups corn kernels
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1/4 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring once or twice, until soft, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add corn, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir, then spread into an even layer. Cook undisturbed 3 to 4 minutes until golden on the bottom. Stir and repeat for another 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, toss with fresh herbs, and serve hot.

Notes

If your corn is especially sweet and tender, you can skip the sugar. For a smoky twist, cook a couple strips of bacon in the skillet first and use the rendered fat with the butter.
