Ingredients
Scale
Corn
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
Butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Honey and Cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Corn: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully melted and hot. Add the corn kernels and stir to coat them evenly with the butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and begins to get a little golden.
- Add Honey and Cream: Pour in the honey and heavy cream over the corn. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients, ensuring the corn is evenly coated with the sweet and creamy mixture.
- Simmer Briefly: Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cream to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season and Serve: Add salt to taste and give the skillet corn a final stir. Remove from heat and serve immediately as a rich, buttery, and sweet side dish.
Notes
- You can use frozen corn if fresh corn is not available; just thaw before cooking.
- Adjust honey quantity according to your sweetness preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream with plant-based alternatives.
- Adding a pinch of black pepper or smoked paprika can add an extra layer of flavor.
