Honey Butter Skillet Corn

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Honey Butter Skillet Corn that’s perfect for a side dish:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter

• 2 tbsp honey

• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper (optional)

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

• Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Corn:

   • If using fresh corn, remove the husks and kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it or use it directly from the freezer.

2. Cook the Corn:

   • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

   • Add the corn kernels and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and starting to brown slightly. If you’re using frozen corn, cook for an extra minute or two to allow it to fully thaw.

3. Make the Honey Butter Sauce:

   • In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.

   • Stir in the honey, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using), and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is combined.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Pour the honey butter sauce over the cooked corn in the skillet, stirring to coat all the kernels.

   • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, so the corn soaks up all the flavor.

   • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

5. Garnish and Enjoy:

   • Transfer the corn to a serving dish, garnish with fresh herbs (optional), and serve immediately.

Tips:

• For a little extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili powder.

• You can also use fresh corn off the cob for an even sweeter, more vibrant flavor.

It’s a sweet and savory side dish that pairs perfectly with just about any protein! Let me know if you give it a try!
