💡 Tips for Best Results
-
Fresh corn gives the sweetest flavor, but frozen works well year-round.
-
Don’t cook on too high heat—honey can burn quickly.
-
For extra richness, you can add a splash of heavy cream or milk at the end for a creamier version.
If you want, I can also give a slightly savory version that balances the honey sweetness with bacon or green onions—it’s a crowd-pleaser at dinner parties.
