- 1/2 cups - softened butter

- 1/2 - fresh red or green serrano or jalapeno pepper seeded, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoons - chili powder

Directions:
For Butters: Combine all ingredients for your preferred butter in a large mixing bowl and beat on low speed with mixer until completely combined. Cover and chill for 1 to 24 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
For Corn:
Peel back corn husks (but do not remove them) and remove silks; pull husks back up around the ears of corn.
Place ears of corn in two very large pots, pans or a clean sink; cover with cold water, and allow to soak for 60 minutes. Drain.
Grill corn, uncovered, over medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes, turning and rearranging as needed, until corn kernels are tender.
Cool slightly; peel back corn husks (optional - tie husks back with a strip of husk). Serve with salt and pepper and your choice of butter.
Optional: Choose to simply butter ears of corn after cooking, and sprinkle with crumbled cheese, garlic salt, and a drizzle of hot pepper sauce before serving.
