Corn Lollipops with Cowboy Butter
Corn Lollipops with Cowboy Butter are the kind of appetizer that makes your whole party more fun. You slice the cob into thick rounds, grill them until they’re golden and slightly charred, and stick a skewer in each one. Then comes the best part: a generous brush of cowboy butter, that warm, garlicky, herby sauce, that’s just a little spicy.
Helpful Tips
- Use a sharp, heavy knife to safely cut through the corn cobs—rock the knife back and forth rather than pressing straight down.
- Use short, study skewers for these lollipops. The corn needs a good handle to hold on to.
- Serve the cowboy butter warm, on the side, so it melts into the corn and coats every kernel. Everyone is going to want to slather more on their corn.
