Step 1
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons butter, letting it melt and coat the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Pour in 4 cups frozen corn kernels and stir with a wooden spoon every 30 seconds until the corn is heated through and begins to release steam, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in 0.5 cup heavy cream and stir constantly for 2 minutes, coating all the corn until the mixture looks glossy and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper over the corn, then stir for 15 seconds until evenly mixed and no streaks of seasoning remain.
Step 5
Taste a spoonful: if it tastes bland, sprinkle in a pinch more salt. Transfer the creamed corn to a serving bowl or leave it in the skillet.
