Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the Butter: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it is fully melted and evenly coats the skillet surface.
  2. Cook the Corn: Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until the corn is heated through and slightly tender.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the honey, smoked paprika, and salt to taste, mixing thoroughly so the corn is evenly glazed with the buttery, honey-spiced sauce.
  4. Cool and Store: Allow the corn to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  5. Reheat for Serving: Gently reheat on the stovetop or microwave before serving. Optionally, add a small pat of butter before serving to refresh the glaze and add shine.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels depending on availability; both yield delicious results.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • Smoked paprika can be substituted with regular paprika for a milder flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a richer flavor when reheating, add a small additional pat of butter.
