Heat the butter:

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it starts to bubble and smell nutty (about 1–2 minutes).

Cook the corn:

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re heated through and start to get a little golden (about 5–7 minutes).

Add honey and season:

Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir well to coat.
-
Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices.

Cook another 2 minutes, letting the honey caramelize slightly with the corn.

Transfer to a serving bowl or serve right from the skillet.

Garnish with fresh herbs if you like.

For extra creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese or heavy cream at the end.

Add a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh tang.

Mix in some bacon bits or diced jalapeños for a smoky or spicy twist.
