Ingredients
  

For the Butter Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter A rich base that adds depth; you can opt for salted butter while reducing additional salt.
  • 3 tablespoons Honey The star of the dish; for a twist, consider using maple syrup.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing flavors; kosher salt is ideal.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds spice; adjust according to preferred heat level.
For the Corn
  • 4 cups Corn Kernels Fresh or frozen corn works best; drain and rinse canned corn.
For the Creamy Texture
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream Can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter feel.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Ensure it’s softened for easy blending; can use light cream cheese.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, set over medium-high heat, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling the pan occasionally for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Once the butter is melted, stir in 4 cups of corn kernels. Sauté for about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the kernels turn a light golden brown.
  3. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons of honey along with a dash of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Stir and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, introduce ½ cup of heavy cream and 4 ounces of softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish or serve warm directly from the skillet. Garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Using fresh or frozen corn enhances flavor significantly compared to canned. This dish is best enjoyed right away, but if reheating, add a splash of cream for that silky texture.
