Instructions
- Melt butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add corn and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
- Add flour and sugar: Sprinkle flour and sugar over the corn, stirring well to coat.

Notes
- For a richer texture, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- If using fresh corn, adjust cooking time slightly. Cut kernels off the cob to measure approximately 3 cups.
