In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
Add the salt, pepper, sugar, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the crème fraîche. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the corn is tender and the sauce is creamy.
Serve immediately.
