Introduction:

This quick and easy recipe is perfect for any meal, adding a touch of sweetness and a burst of flavor to your plate. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue or a cozy family dinner, this dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 6 ears of corn) or frozen corn, thawed
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Corn:
- If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, ensure it is fully thawed and drained.
2. Melt the Butter:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Cook the Corn:
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Honey and Cream:
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey until well combined.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to coat the corn evenly.
5. Season and Serve:
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is heated through and creamy.
- Remove from heat and transfer the corn to a serving dish.
6. Garnish:
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Tips for Success:
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the skillet when adding the cream.
- If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of honey to 1 tablespoon.
- Ensure not to overcook the corn to maintain its natural sweetness and crisp texture.
