Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 serving dish
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels Fresh or frozen (about 2 cans if using canned corn).
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika Optional.
- to taste fresh parsley For garnish, optional.
Instructions
- If using frozen corn, thaw it by placing it in a colander under running warm water for a few minutes; if using canned corn, drain and rinse.
- Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.
- Once the butter is melted, add the corn to the skillet and stir to coat the kernels evenly with the butter.
- Cook the corn for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
- Pour the honey mixture over the corn in the skillet and stir well to combine.
- Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the corn to absorb the sweetness of the honey while stirring frequently.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
- Serve warm in a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
