  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola)
  • Kernels from 6 ears of corn (about 4½ cups)

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided into chunks
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Stuff to Know Before Cooking

Fresh corn works best in this recipe, but you can substitute 4½ cups of thawed frozen corn if needed.

Cook Corn

Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add corn, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
