Notes

Make sure to drain off the water from the can and use fresh water.
To really add flavor, use broth instead of water.
PRO TIP:Bringing out the corns natural flavor only requires butter, salt, pepper and sugar BUT if you REALLY want to add a lot of flavor add just a pinch of cayenne and ½ teaspoon of lemon juice. It'll make your mouth happy!
