Why This Recipe Works

To infuse grilled corn with the flavor of herbed and spiced butters, we first char the corn over a hot fire and then transfer it to a roasting pan full of flavored butter. We cover the pan with aluminum foil and continue to cook the sweet, toasted ears over the flame until they pick up flavor.

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in small bowl.
