Ingredients
-
1/4 cup butter
-
1 TBSP honey
-
1/2 tsp Piment d’Ville (our preference is for Smoky) or any of our chile powders
-
A bit of lime zest and a squeeze of lime juice
-
Fresh ears of corn
-
Flaky salt to finish
Directions
If you want melted butter to drizzle on corn: melt butter and chile powder of choice in a small pot over low heat. Add honey and lime to the pot and turn off heat. Mix ingredients together. Drizzle over cooked corn on the cob and sprinkle with salt.
If you want a spreadable butter for corn: stir honey, lime, and chile powder into room temperature and softened butter. Once fully mixed, spread on your cooked corn and sprinkle with salt.
Recipe Note
It's a choose your own adventure with how you want to cook the corn. Maybe you like to grill it. Or maybe you only boil it. Or maybe you're the kind of person who likes turning their oven on in the summer to roast it. However you end up cooking it, use a spoon or pastry brush and add a nice coat (or large drizzle) of honey butter to the corn. Finish with a bit more Piment and some flaky sea salt. Make sure to eat the corn while everything is still nice and hot.
