Texas Roadhouse Buttered Corn Recipe
This easy Texas Roadhouse Buttered Corn Recipe is a creamy, buttery side dish made with butter, sugar, and cream.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan or skillet
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Colander (if using canned corn)
- Serving bowl
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional, for extra creaminess
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder optional
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Corn
- When you are using fresh corn, remove it from the cob. When frozen, there is no need to thaw--into the pan. If canned, drain well.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Allow it to become slightly golden and nutty--this gives it the added richness.
Step 3: Add the Corn
- Add the corn kernels and then stir them in the butter. Allow them to sizzle between 3 and 5 minutes.
Step 4: Creamy Sweetness
- Add sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then pour in the cream. Stir and simmer everything approximately 8-10 minutes, until all the corn is tender, creamy, and buttery delicious.
Step 5: Taste and Adjust
- And this is the magic place -try it. Add more salt if you need. Others even prefer that cute addition of a sprinkle of sugar to get that trademark balance.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
- Pour into a serving dish, serve with parsley, and warm.
