Description

Honey Butter Skillet Corn is the ultimate sweet and savory side dish. With tender corn kernels coated in a rich honey-butter glaze and lightly seasoned, this dish comes together in just minutes. It’s perfect for family dinners, holiday feasts, or BBQs!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 45 ears of corn)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a hint of spice)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives (chopped (optional, for garnish))

Instructions

  1. Cook the Corn: In a spacious frying pan, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until it melts. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn becomes tender and slightly golden.
  2. Add Honey and Seasonings: Stir in the honey, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the corn to become nicely coated with the honey butter mixture.
  3. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the honey-butter mix.
  • Frozen or canned corn can be used if fresh corn is unavailable.
  • Adjust the honey-to-butter ratio to suit your sweetness preference.
