Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and honey. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Place your skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the corn kernels.
- Stir the corn occasionally for about 8-10 minutes, or until it starts to caramelize and develop golden-brown edges. If the corn seems dry, add a teaspoon of butter.
- Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the honey butter mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, making sure the corn is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the corn, adjusting to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Remove from heat and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives. Serve warm.
Notes
For best caramelization, use a hot skillet and stir frequently but gently. Adjust sweetness by reducing honey or adding lemon juice. Pat frozen corn dry before cooking to reduce moisture.
