Southern 4-Ingredient Honey Butter Skillet Corn

Southern 4-Ingredient Honey Butter Skillet Corn transforms humble corn kernels into a rich, sweet, and savory side dish using just four staple ingredients. Cooked in a hot skillet until lightly charred, the kernels absorb a decadent glaze that elevates any weeknight dinner or holiday spread.

The 4 Essential Ingredients

• Whole Kernel Corn: 16 oz (frozen, thawed, or fresh cut off the cob).

• Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons (provides the rich cooking base).

• Honey: 2 tablespoons (caramelizes the kernels and adds natural sweetness).

• Cream Cheese: 2 ounces, cubed (creates a subtle, velvety glaze that coats every kernel).

• (Optional: A pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste)
