How to Make Honey Butter Corn
- Place corn in a colander and rinse under cold water until no more ice can be seen. Drain well.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the corn stirring to coat with the butter. Cook stirring for 5 minutes.
- Add honey, half and half, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Bring to a low boil, cover, and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
- Uncover and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until most of the liquid has soaked into the corn. Toward the end of the cooking process, please keep a close check on your corn to ensure it is not sticking.
Ingredients Needed
Corn– I use yellow whole kernel corn for this recipe. It’s found in the freezer section of my local grocery store.
Butter: Doesn’t butter make everything better? Most of the time, I use salted butter in my recipes.
Cream Cheese: Just a little will do. Cream Cheese makes this dish extra creamy and delicious.
Honey– Honey adds a little sweetness to this dish.
Half & Half: A little bit of half & half adds so much flavor.
Salt & Pepper: The only two seasonings you will need for this simple dish.
This recipe comes together super fast, and I know you will love this dish, especially the creamy sauce. Honey, butter, cream cheese, and half & half all come together to make this the most delicious corn. Plus, it’s all cooked in one skillet, and that’s always a good thing.
So for your next side dish, make it extraordinary instead of making it ordinary. Enjoy!
