Instructions

Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat to prepare a flavorful base for the corn.
Cook Corn: Add the corn kernels to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and lightly browned, enhancing its natural sweetness and texture.
Add Seasonings: Reduce the heat to low, then stir in honey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the honey to caramelize slightly.
