Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium skillet, melt the 1 tbsp butter over medium heat until foaming, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 cups corn kernels and 2 tbsp water. Stir to coat the corn in butter.

  3. Step 3

    Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. The kernels should be bright yellow and slightly plump.

  4. Step 4

    Season with the 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste) and stir well. Serve hot.
