I have been in the kitchen all day cooking up a storm.

Fried Corn

4 tablespoons butter

1 can corn, drained

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup heavy cream

Salt

Black Pepper

In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter, when the butter is foamy add the corn stirring to coat.  Cook stirring constantly for 1 minute.  Add the sugar and cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Increase heat and add heavy cream - continue to stir so corn won't stick.  Add salt and pepper.  Cook until most of the cream has absorbed, about 3 - 5 minutes.  Serve hot!!!!!!
