Preparation

Step 1

1.Place the butter, herbs, salt, and lemon zest in a bowl and mix together. Transfer to a piece of waxed or parchment paper and roll into a log or place in a small bowl and refrigerate until firm. Slice and serve with warm, cooked corn on the cob.


Note: Here are a couple rules of thumb for making flavored butters: Be careful not to add too much of one ingredient; flavors will intensify as the butter chills. Refrigerate for up to two days or freeze for a couple weeks.

2.Try these alternative flavors:
Jalapeño butter: Substitute 2 teaspoons chopped roasted jalapeño peppers for the herbs and 1/8 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper for the lemon zest.

Minted butter: Substitute 4 tablespoons chopped mint for the herbs and 2 teaspoons lime zest for the lemon zest.
