Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound frozen corn
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter (depending on the method)
  • salt and pepper


Instructions

To cook frozen corn on the cob:

  1. Place corn in a pot and cover with water. Substitute one cup of the water with milk to bring out extra sweetness in the corn.

  4. Remove corn from the water and serve with additional butter and salt and pepper if desired.

To cook frozen corn kernels:

 

  1. Place corn in a colander and give it a rinse with cold water. It doesn’t need to be thawed, just rinse until the ice crystals are gone and be sure to shake out any excess water.
  2. Add corn and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle with the sugar.
  3. Cook for 6-7 minutes stirring often.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
