Easy Southern Honey Butter Skillet Corn Recipe (4 Ingredients)
Sweet, buttery, and ready in about 10 minutes, this skillet corn makes an easy side dish for almost any meal.
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels — fresh or frozen
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Add the corn: Stir in the corn and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and tender.
- Add honey: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey and salt.
- Finish: Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring until the corn is glossy and coated in the honey-butter mixture.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
- For frozen corn, you can add it straight to the skillet; just cook a couple of minutes longer if needed.
- Want it more savory? Add a little black pepper or smoked paprika.
- For extra Southern-style richness, use salted butter and adjust the added salt to taste.
