Place the carrots in a small pot with 1 cup of water (approximately), enough water to cover the carrots by about half. Add the sugar and salt to the water.
Bring the carrots to a boil and let boil uncovered for 5-7 minutes, testing after 5 minutes, until tender.
Drain any remaining water and return the carrots to the hot pot. Add the butter and swirl to coat and melt.
Serve as a small side dish to your favorite dinner. enjoy!
