Description

Sweet, buttery, and irresistibly creamy! This Honey Butter Skillet Corn is the perfect quick side dish for any meal. Ready in minutes—try it today! 🌽🍯


Ingredients

  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned – drained if using canned)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for a savory touch)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Butter

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, creating a rich and flavorful base.

Step 2: Sauté the Corn

  • Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly golden.

Step 3: Add the Honey & Seasoning

  • Drizzle the honey over the corn and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir well so every kernel is coated in the delicious honey butter glaze.

Step 4: Pour in the Cream

  • Reduce the heat to low, then slowly add the heavy cream. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

  • If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir gently. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your Honey Butter Skillet Corn warm!

Notes

  • Use fresh corn in summer for the best flavor, but frozen or canned works great too!
  • Adjust the sweetness – add more or less honey depending on your taste.
  • For extra richness, try adding a tablespoon of cream cheese.
  • Want a spicy kick? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Make it cheesier – stir in some shredded cheddar or mozzarella.
