This is fantastic! We've been making this all summer long for BBQ parties. Everyone always ask for the recipes for the butters. -
This cooking method is right-on, producing perfectly cooked, tender ears of corn. I used the chili butter option, but I only used 1 Tbsp. We love spice, but I really think 2 Tbsp would be so overpowering. I also added a dash of garlic salt to the butter. These were great served with Recipe #66383, Recipe #112473 & Recipe #39478. -
This corn is great! We only used the Italian Herb Butter but I can't wait to try the others. Thanks Mimi for posting this wonderful way to serve corn.

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
