Sweet and Buttery Basil Corn
This Basil Corn is my favorite way to dress up some simple corn into something that tastes like a sunny July afternoon. Swirling those kernels in a rich, herby basil butter with a tiny pinch of sugar gets you a savory-sweet, silky smooth glaze. In just 15 minutes, you can rescue any meal that needs a little extra Southern charm and a lot of buttery flavor!
