Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Shuck the corn, removing all husks and silk strands, and rinse the ears under running water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
Carefully place the ears of corn into the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
While the corn is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the honey until fully combined, then remove from heat.
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to remove it from the pot and place it on a serving platter.
Brush the honey-butter mixture generously over each ear of corn, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle each cob with black pepper and an additional pinch of salt to taste.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
