Mexican-Style Corn on the Cob

Biting into hot corn on the cob slathered with butter is one of summer’s great eating pleasures. Here, that classic is given a Latin accent with the addition of lime and cilantro to the butter and a sprinkle of ground chile at the table. Be careful not to overcook the corn; it tastes best when the kernels still carry some snap.
