Butter Recipes for Roasted Corn
All  Side Dishes

Whether you crave smoky heat, citrusy brightness, sweet rum warmth, or even playful sprinkles, these compound butters turn grilled corn into a choose-your-own-adventure feast. Which one will win your table’s heart? I always prefer to grill my corn in the husks. Grilling in the husks steams and cooks the corn to perfection, giving it a caramelized flavor when the kernels get light brown.  Flavored butter is always a great way to enjoy corn and it’s sweet juicy taste for the Fourth of July. The challenge today was to create 6 new butter recipes for a summer grilling party.
