Make this sweet and savory Honey Butter Skillet Corn side dish in minutes. It is creamy, crave-worthy, and perfect for weeknights or holiday tables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
  2. Add the corn kernels to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in the honey, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  4. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the corn, about 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve your easy corn side dish immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with fresh thyme or a pinch of smoked paprika before serving.
  • This recipe works well as a quick corn recipe for busy weeknights.
  • If using frozen corn, you do not need to thaw it before adding it to the skillet.
