Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ears corn
4 teaspoons Lime Butter (see recipe), optional OR

Steps:

  • Pull back the corn husks without detaching them from the cobs. Pull out all of the silk. Spread the corn with butter, if desired. Pull the husks back over the corn.
  • To steam corn: Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Place corn in a steamer over the water. Cover and steam until corn is tender, about 12 minutes. Or, to roast corn: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roast corn in the oven until tender, turning it twice, about 35 minutes.
  • Pull the husks off the corn and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
