Corn on the Cob with Lemon-Pepper Butter image

Roasting fresh-picked corn is as old as the Ozark hills where I was raised. My Grandpa Mitchell always salted and peppered his butter on the edge of his plate before spreading it on his corn, and I did the same as a kid. Today, I continue the tradition by serving lemon-pepper butter with roasted corn-it's a favorite! -Allene Bary-Cooper, Wichita Falls, Texas

BOILED CORN ON THE COB WITH SPICY BUTTER



Boiled Corn on the Cob With Spicy Butter image

We absolutely love this, we tend to get bored with 'plain' corn on the cob after eating it all summer

Provided by lets.eat

Categories     Corn

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large fresh corn on the cob, shucked
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine the butter, parsley, chili powder, garlic salt, and cumin; set aside.
  • To pot of boiling water add 1 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoons lemon juice. Add corn. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, uncovered. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove from hot water, spread ears of corn with seasoned butter.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the corn, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the corn from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the corn until it's tender: Corn is done cooking when it's tender and slightly browned. If you're not sure if the corn is done, insert a toothpick into the center of a kernel. If the toothpick comes out clean, the corn is done.
  • Season to taste: Season the corn with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve immediately: Corn is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that it's hot and juicy.
