Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add corn and sauté for 5 minutes until tender.
  3. Stir in honey and heavy cream, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Corn Selection: Fresh corn is ideal for its natural sweetness and crisp texture, but frozen corn is a convenient and tasty alternative. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw it before cooking.
  • Butter and Honey: Opt for high-quality butter for a richer flavor. The type of honey can vary based on preference; clover honey is a good all-purpose choice for its mild, sweet flavor.
  • Heavy Cream: The heavy cream can be adjusted to control the dish’s creaminess. For a lighter version, half-and-half or whole milk can be used, though the final dish will be less rich.
  • Vegan Adaptation: Easily make this dish vegan by substituting the butter with a plant-based alternative, honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, and heavy cream with coconut cream or a rich almond milk.
  • Serving Suggestions: This skillet corn makes a versatile side that pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, or as part of a vegetarian spread. It’s particularly good with barbecue dishes, offering a sweet counterpoint to smoky flavors.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet, adding a splash of milk or water to loosen the sauce if necessary.
