Rotate the ears about every 5 minutes to avoid burning on one side. They will be ready in about 30 minutes, when the husks are beginning to scorch on all sides and the interior is steaming.Lime Butter3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened2 tablespoons fresh Mexican lime juiceSalt, to tasteMash butter and lime juice together with a fork.
