Corn on the Cob with Mustard-Maple-Thyme Butter


We have been away for a few days and returned last night we excellent Indiana corn.  We had this recipe last night with veggie burgers.  This recipe is also in Fine Cooking Aug./Sept.
Ingredients:
4 ears of corn on the cob
¼ C unsalted butter
1 T Dijon mustard
1 T pure maple syrup
2 t finely chopped fresh thyme (about ¾ t dried)
1 t stone-ground mustard
½ t sea salt.
Directions:
1.      Bring a 6-8 qt. pot of water to a boil over high heat. 
2.       Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients.  I melted the butter partially and it was easier to mix all the ingredients. 
3.      Remove the husks and silk from the fresh corn.
4.      Boil the corn until just tender, about 3 minutes.
5.      Remove the corn from the pot and let rest for a few seconds to allow some of the water to evaporate. 
6.      Slather each cob with at least 1T of the butter and serve immediately. 
Although this is not as low calorie as my old standby it was very good.  I have enough left to do 4 more ears of corn.
