Here’s a simple and delicious Honey Butter Skillet Corn recipe—sweet, buttery, and perfect as a side dish:
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2–3 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Cook the corn
- Add corn kernels and sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly golden.
- Add honey and seasonings
- Drizzle honey over the corn, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat evenly.
- Cook 1–2 more minutes so the honey slightly caramelizes.
- Serve
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve warm.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cinnamon.
- Using fresh corn gives the sweetest, juiciest result, but frozen works perfectly in a pinch.
I can also give you a creamy honey butter corn skillet version that’s richer and more indulgent, almost like a restaurant-style side. Do you want me to do that?
