CORN ON THE COB WITH LEMON-PEPPER BUTTER
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
