July 4th marks the beginning of corn season here in Indiana. It’s when the best corn starts to become available at our local farmer’s markets. Nothing beats fresh sweet corn (specially if it’s from My Dad’s Sweet Corn)… unless you have something even sweeter to put on it. These grilled corn disks with honey butter are easy to make and look and taste great.
Great. Now I’m Addicted To Corn Disks.
If you want to add more kick the honey butter on these grilled corn disks with honey butter, add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper and throw a few jalapeno rings in with them. Either way, they’re highly addicting. I eat them like popcorn. Weird, you cut corn into little disks and all of a sudden I can eat twice as much corn as I normally would. They are definitely delicious.
I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. It makes cooking easier. And cleanup is easier too!
For a little kick, I also like to make my grilled corn with ancho chili butter.
