Pro Tips for the Perfect Honey Butter Skillet Corn:
Corn Variations: Use fresh corn on the cob in season for an extra burst of sweetness. Just remove the kernels from the cob before cooking.

Sweetness Balance: If you like a more savory dish, adjust the amount of honey to your liking, or use a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a sweet and spicy twist.
Make it Dairy-Free: Substitute the butter with vegan butter and the heavy cream with coconut cream or another dairy-free option.
