If you’re looking for a delicious and unique way to add some excitement to your corn, honey butter skillet corn may just be the answer.

This combination of sweet, rich honey and creamy, savory butter melds together perfectly to create a flavor experience unlike any other.

With just the right amount of sweetness and subtle saltiness, this dish is sure to satisfy any craving for comfort food.

You’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons of salted butter

PRO TIP:

I love the color variety using white and sweet yellow corn. Sometimes you can find a combo bag. You can also simply use half a bag of yellow and half a bag of white corn.

Notes

• I love the color variety using white and sweet yellow corn. Sometimes you can find a combo bag. You can also simply use half a bag of yellow and half a bag of white corn.
• This corn dish does not make a large quantity. I would recommend doubling it for more than just four people eating this as a small portion side dish.
• This is a creamy, buttery, and sweet corn side dish. The salt and pepper add a savory touch to this honey-sweetened corn. For a less sweet dish, use just 1 tablespoon of honey.
