Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
- 3 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
- 2 tablespoons honey adjust to taste
- ¼ cup heavy cream for a rich texture
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper optional, for added depth
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Butter
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.
Step 2: Add the Corn
- If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. For frozen corn, thaw it slightly, and for canned corn, drain and rinse. Add the corn to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Drizzle in the Honey
- Pour the honey over the corn and stir well to combine. The honey will start to caramelize slightly, adding a rich, sweet glaze.
Step 4: Add the Heavy Cream
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the corn evenly.
Step 5: Season and Serve
- Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the creamy, buttery goodness.
