  • fresh cilantro for garnish

Equipment

  • skillet
  • spoon or spatula
  • measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Stir in honey, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly caramelized.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Use fresh corn for best flavor in summer, or frozen corn year-round. Do not overcook the honey to avoid burning. Stir frequently to achieve light caramelization. For deeper flavor, brown the butter before adding the corn.
