Notes

This is one of the easiest corn side dishes to prepare, perfect for holidays or casual dinners at home.
If you prefer less sweetness, start with 2 tablespoons of honey and adjust gradually.
Patting the corn dry is essential to prevent the dish from becoming watery.
Smoked paprika adds a nice depth but is optional depending on your taste.
Use fresh chives for a bright herbal garnish to complement the creamy corn.
