Ingredients
- Fresh Corn
- Unsalted Butter
- Honey
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Chives or Parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: If you're using fresh corn, start by shucking the corn and removing the kernels. Hold the cob upright in a bowl and carefully slice downward to collect the kernels. If using frozen corn, make sure it’s thawed and drained.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely, swirling it around the skillet to coat the bottom.
- Add the Corn: Once the butter is melted, add the corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to combine and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
- Incorporate Honey: Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the honey to meld with the butter and corn.
- Season: Sprinkle in salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Stir once more to combine all the flavors.
- Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle chopped chives or parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Serve: Enjoy your Honey Butter Skillet Corn warm as a delicious side dish or topping for grilled meats!
