You can make skillet corn that tastes incredibly creamy and sweet with this simple recipe. This side dish combines sweet corn, rich butter, and honey for a comforting flavor that cooks fast on the stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (15 oz) cans whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh thyme or chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Drain both cans of whole kernel corn well. You want to remove as much liquid as possible.
  2. Place the drained corn and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and coats the corn, about 3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and honey. Stir everything together until combined.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue to cook, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and become creamy. Do not boil rapidly.
  5. Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste the corn and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh thyme or cilantro before serving hot.

Notes

  • To achieve a truly creamy texture, cook the corn long enough for some of the liquid to evaporate, concentrating the sauce.
  • This recipe works well with frozen corn if you thaw and drain it thoroughly before starting.
  • Serve this as a favorite potluck side dish or a comforting family favorite.
