Heat the Corn:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the corn and stir until heated through (about 4–5 minutes if frozen, 2–3 minutes if canned).
Add Butter & Sugar:
Stir in the butter and sugar. Let the butter melt completely and coat the corn evenly.
Make It Creamy (Optional):
Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined. This gives the corn a creamy texture similar to the restaurant version.
Season:
Add salt to taste. Optionally, sprinkle black pepper for a mild kick.
Rest:
Let the corn sit for 2 minutes off heat to allow the flavors to settle before serving.
Serve Hot:
Spoon into a serving bowl and enjoy alongside your favorite grilled meats or dinner rolls.
