Lime and Chili Version: Brush the corn with honey butter, then squeeze fresh lime juice over it and sprinkle with chili powder for a zesty, bold flavor.
FAQ:
Q1: Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh corn?
A1: Yes, you can use frozen corn, but fresh corn on the cob tends to have a more vibrant flavor and better texture. Just make sure to cook it properly before applying the honey butter.
Q2: Can I make the honey butter in advance?
A2: Absolutely! You can make the honey butter up to 2 days ahead. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and it will be ready to use when you need it.
Q3: What if I don’t have a grill or oven?
A3: No worries! Boiling corn is a great option when you don’t have access to a grill or oven. The corn will still turn out delicious with the honey butter glaze.
Q4: Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
A4: Yes, you can, but if you use salted butter, adjust the amount of salt in the recipe to your taste to avoid the dish being too salty.
