Ingredients
  

4 large ears of fresh corn, shucked

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Corn: In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil to fully submerge the corn. Carefully add the shucked corn and boil for about 5-7 minutes, until tender. Remove from the pot and set aside to drain.

    Prepare the Honey Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, sea salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Use a whisk or spatula to blend until smooth and well incorporated.

      Coat the Corn: While the corn is still warm, brush a generous amount of the honey butter mixture onto each ear, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Reserve some of the honey butter for dipping later if desired.

        Grill for Extra Flavor (Optional): For added flavor, you can also grill the coated corn. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until you see grill marks and the butter is slightly caramelized.

          Serve: Transfer the corn to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining honey butter on top, and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick if desired.

            Enjoy: Dive into this sweet and buttery concoction, enjoying the warm, juicy corn bursting with flavor!
