I know I am too late, but I love just some plain garlic powder sprinkled on my corn on the cob.

Re: Flavored butters

I saw this on Food TV yesterday......


6 ears fresh corn, unhusked
1/4 pound butter (1 stick), room temperature
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 lime, zested
1 lime, cut into wedges

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the corn in its husks directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is soft when you press on it, 30 to 40 minutes.

While the corn is roasting, combine the butter with the chili powder and lime zest.

Peel down the husks and tie in a knot to use as a handle while eating. Rub the corn with soft butter mixture, and garnish with a lime wedge. (This roasting method produces the sweetest corn I have ever tasted.)

Re: Flavored butters

It's not flavored butter, but how I like mine is that you butter the cob, sprinkle on some cumin and rub a lime wedge on it...

Re: Flavored butters

I have left over corn so I'm going to dry some of these....especially the Lime Cilantro Butter.

Thanks.
