Corn is one of my favorite side dishes, but since it's also high in carbohydrates, I usually opt for more "green" vegetables.

With Summer approaching, we do tend to eat more corn than throughout the year; which is why I wanted to make this recipe for Honey Butter Corn. 

This recipe is super easy to make with only 3 ingredients and can be ready in about 15 minutes. It tastes sweet and salty at the same time and goes with so many of our favorite recipes including ribs, steak and grilled chicken.

Corn Kernels

When not serving fresh corn on the cob, I opt for frozen corn kernels. Frozen tastes just as good as fresh since it's flash frozen right after being picked so that it  keeps its freshness. 

Just beware that they're not left frozen for too long or you'll wind up with frostbite vegetables; which can ruin the flavor and diminish the vitamins and nutrients. 

Suggested Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Mixing Spoon

Ingredients Needed

Corn Kernels: Frozen corn kernels work best, but you can use drained and rinsed canned corn or fresh corn on the cob that has been cooked and shucked from the cob. 

Whipped Butter: You can also use regular butter, but the whipped gives the corn a frothy, creamy consistency. 

Honey

Kosher Salt

Black Pepper

How do you make Honey Butter Corn?

Add the butter and frozen corn to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the corn has defrosted; approximately 6-8 minutes. Add the honey, salt and pepper; then mix well. Serve hot.
