Introduction

Nothing beats the sweet, smoky char of fresh corn grilled to perfection with Irish honey butter. The Arteflame grill's unique flat cooktop ensures an even sear without burning, enhancing the natural sweetness of the corn. This recipe is easy, quick, and delivers an irresistible balance of caramelized honey and buttery goodness.

Ingredients

• 4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked
• 4 tbsp unsalted Irish butter, melted
• 2 tbsp Irish honey
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional for smokiness)
• Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
• 1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire build for about 20 minutes until the griddle is hot.

Step 2: Prepare the honey butter

1. In a small bowl, mix melted Irish butter, Irish honey, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
2. Stir well to combine.

Step 3: Grill the corn

1. Place the corn directly on the flat cooktop near the center for a higher heat sear.
2. Brush generously with the Irish honey butter mixture.
3. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until charred to perfection.

Step 4: Finish and serve

1. Remove from the grill and brush with any remaining honey butter.
2. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives.
3. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.

Tips

• For extra caramelization, reapply the honey butter a few times during grilling.
• If your cooktop is too hot, move the corn towards the outer edges for better temperature control.
• Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor.

• Spicy Honey Butter Corn: Add 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
• Garlic Herb Corn: Mix in 1 minced garlic clove and 1/2 tsp dried oregano.
