Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or a splash of hot sauce to the butter and mustard mixture. If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard works as a substitute, although it will alter the flavor slightly. Fresh corn can be used instead of canned for a seasonal twist. Make sure to adjust the salt according to your taste.
