• Now, let’s get down to how you can make this dish yourself. Follow these straightforward steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Corn

• Start by thawing that frozen sweet corn if you haven’t already. You can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight or following the quick method: place it in a colander and run warm water over it until thawed. Drain well and set aside.

Step 2: Melt the Butter

• In a large skillet, melt the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Let it melt slowly; you want it to become bubbly but not browned. The aroma of melting butter will create a cozy atmosphere in your kitchen, trust me on this!

Step 3: Season the Butter

• Add ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the melted butter. Stir it in, allowing the flavors to meld. This is where the magic begins.

Step 4: Stir in the Corn

• Now, it’s time to add that beautiful corn. Pour the thawed corn into the skillet, stirring well to combine it with the butter and seasoning. Hear that sizzle? That’s the sound of deliciousness in action!

Step 5: Add the Honey

• Drizzle in ¼ cup of pure honey. This will sweeten the dish, balancing out the savory elements. Mix well. The corn should start to glisten.

Step 6: Pour in the Cream

• Now, slowly stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream. This will give the dish its creamy finish. Keep stirring until everything is evenly mixed and heated through—about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7: Add Smoked Paprika

• Finally, sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika. Not only will it add a pop of color, but it also provides a fantastic smoky depth. Adjust the seasoning if needed, adding extra salt or honey depending on your taste.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

• Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the buttered corn warm, garnished with a little extra smoked paprika if you like.
