Ingredients
- 6 ears corn on the cob, husks & silk removed
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- juice from 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Make compound butter by thoroughly mixing the room temperature butter with salt, honey, chili powder and lime juice.
- Optional: Form into a tight log and roll up in wax paper and refrigerate for 1 1/2 hours. There will be some free lime juice that won't integrate all the way - don't worry about it.
- Bring a large pot of salted water filled 2/3 way full (leave enough room for the corn to go in) to a boil.
- Place corn in boiling water and cook (the water will stop boiling when you put the corn in, but start the timer now) ~ 3-5 minutes.
- Serve hot corn on the cob with butter and sprinkle with some chili powder. Add salt to taste.
Notes
- Hungry? Just slather the butter on the corn as it is - no need to form into a log or refrigerate.
- Like lime zest? Zest the lime first and through that in the butter too.
- For the Grill: Pull the husks down, remove the silk, pull the husks back up, soak in water and grill on medium high heat (oil grill grates first) for ~ 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
