I love using the gold n’ white corn for this recipe but any frozen corn will work. Make sure it is the 1 lb (16 oz) bag of frozen corn. 

Here are some tips for making the best Honey Butter Skillet Corn:

Use Fresh or Frozen Corn: Fresh corn is ideal, but frozen corn works well too. If using frozen, let it thaw and drain any excess water to avoid a soggy texture.

Preheat the Skillet: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the butter. This helps the corn caramelize faster and gives it a golden, slightly crispy finish.

Don’t Skimp on Butter: Butter is essential for that rich, creamy flavor, so use a good amount for the best taste and texture.

Add Honey Gradually: Add honey a little at a time, adjusting to your desired sweetness. It’s easy to add more if needed, but tough to reduce if you go overboard.

Season Well: Balance the sweetness with a bit of salt to enhance all the flavors. A sprinkle of black pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes also adds a nice contrast.

Garnish with Fresh Herbs: For added flavor and a pop of color, garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Cook Just Until Golden: Avoid overcooking to keep the corn tender and juicy. Cook until the corn is lightly caramelized and golden brown for the best texture.

Enjoy creating this sweet and savory Honey Butter Skillet Corn that’s perfect for any meal!
