Ingredients
Skillet Corn Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 cans (15.25-ounce each) white and gold whole kernel corn, drained
- Black pepper, freshly ground, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the honey butter mixture: In a large skillet, combine the butter, honey, sour cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and stir continuously until the butter has fully melted and the mixture becomes bubbly, which should take about five minutes.
- Add and heat the corn: Stir in the drained corn kernels into the bubbling honey butter mixture. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated thoroughly and coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the corn to serving dishes. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level; omit for a milder dish.
- For extra richness, you can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- Use fresh corn kernels if available, adjusting cooking time slightly to ensure tenderness.
- Stir frequently to prevent the butter and honey mixture from burning.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a sweet-savory side to vegetarian meals.
