Make this sweet and savory Honey Butter Skillet Corn side dish quickly on the stovetop. It is rich, creamy, and perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday tables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

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 for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to lightly brown.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the butter. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the honey, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the corn evenly.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately as a quick corn side dish.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh corn cut straight from the cob.
  • If you prefer a savory corn side, reduce the honey to 1 tablespoon and add a pinch of smoked paprika.
  • This recipe works well as a canned corn alternative when fresh corn is not in season.
