Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  1. Cook the Corn: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Prepare Honey Butter: In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter and honey until well combined to form a smooth honey butter mixture.
  3. Combine and Season: Reduce the heat to low, stir the honey butter into the cooked corn until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and stir well to incorporate all flavors.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a sweet and buttery side dish.

Notes

  • Fresh corn is preferred, but frozen corn works well if fresh is unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and salt to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a richer flavor, use salted butter and reduce added salt accordingly.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or barbecue.
  • Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for added color and flavor.
