Here’s a delicious recipe for Honey Butter Skillet Corn:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6-8 ears of corn) or 2 cans (15 ounces each) of whole kernel corn, drained
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Corn:
- If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and remove the kernels by slicing down the sides of each cob with a sharp knife.
- Melt the Butter:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Cook the Corn:
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the corn is tender and starts to turn golden brown.
- Add Honey and Seasonings:
- Stir in the honey, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the honey to caramelize slightly and coat the corn evenly.
- Add Cream:
- Pour in the heavy cream and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cream has thickened slightly and the corn is well-coated and creamy.
- Garnish and Serve:
- If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the honey butter skillet corn warm as a side dish.
This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a holiday meal. Enjoy your sweet and savory skillet corn!
