I was sure my aunties’ recipe was lost, but I found it, and it tastes better than ever!

Honey butter corn is a delightful side dish that brings together the natural sweetness of corn with the rich, creamy flavors of honey and butter. This dish is a staple in many Midwestern homes, especially during the summer months when corn is at its peak. The combination of honey and butter not only enhances the corn’s natural sweetness but also gives it a glistening, juicy texture that is hard to resist. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or simply looking for a comforting side dish, honey butter corn is sure to please.
Honey butter corn pairs beautifully with a variety of main dishes. It complements grilled meats such as chicken, steak, or pork chops perfectly. For a lighter meal, serve it alongside a fresh garden salad or a simple tomato and basil salad. It’s also a great addition to a vegetarian spread, alongside dishes like roasted vegetables or a hearty bean salad.
