Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 4–5 ears of corn if using fresh)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Step 1:
If using fresh corn, peel the husks and remove the silk, then cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it is thawed before beginning the recipe. - Step 2:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to sizzle. - Step 3:
Add the corn kernels to the skillet, stirring occasionally to coat them in the melted butter. Let the corn cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are heated through and begin to develop a slight golden color. - Step 4:
Once the corn is cooked, add honey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the honey has melted and coats the corn evenly. - Step 5:
For extra creaminess, add the heavy cream and stir well to incorporate. Let it cook for another minute to heat through. Remove from heat. - Step 6:
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
