Corn on the Cob Compound Butter

Now I’m a huge fan of just butter and salt and pepper on my corn, but this compound butter is also a delicious option.

Ingredients for Compound Butter

Compound Butter Ingredients

  • softened butter
  • minced garlic
  • paprika
  • parsley

This compound butter is super easy to assemble, but you will need at least 1 hour in the freezer to let it firm up.

Compound butter mixed

I find using a hand mixer to cream it all together is the easiest way. Then you just need to place it in wax paper or parchment paper, creating a log and freeze until you’re ready to serve.
