Description
Creamy Honey Butter Skillet Corn elevates humble corn to a luxurious side dish with its rich, buttery sauce and sweet honey flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16-ounce bag of frozen corn, thawed or two 15-ounce cans of sweet corn, thoroughly drained
- 3–4 ears of fresh corn, kernels cut off
- Unsalted Butter
- Honey
- Heavy Cream
- Fresh Garlic, minced
- Salt
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Fresh chopped chives or parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- If using frozen corn, ensure it’s thawed completely. For canned corn, drain it very well. For fresh corn, slice the kernels off the cob.
- Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
- Have your butter, honey, heavy cream, salt, and pepper all measured out and ready to go.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once bubbling, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the prepared corn to the skillet and stir well to coat. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through and slightly tender-crisp.
- Pour in the heavy cream and drizzle in the honey over the corn. Stir thoroughly to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Taste the corn and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley before serving hot.
