Ingredients
• 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6-8 ears of corn)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Corn: Remove the kernels from the cobs by standing each cob upright and slicing downward with a sharp knife. This will ensure you get clean, even kernels without any tough pieces of cob. Discard the cobs.
- Melt the Butter: In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Be sure to use a pan that’s large enough to accommodate the corn without overcrowding, as this will ensure even cooking and browning.
- Add the Corn: Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the corn kernels to the pan. Stir to coat the corn evenly with the butter, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and lightly browned.
- Stir in the Honey: Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir to combine. The honey will create a sweet, caramelized coating on the kernels, enhancing their natural sweetness.
- Season to Taste: Add the salt and pepper, and stir to evenly distribute the seasoning. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top of the skillet, if using, and serve the Honey Butter Corn Skillet immediately, while it’s hot and at its most flavorful.
