Brown-butter corn with lime
Corn first, then toasted butter, then lime. Holds warm twenty minutes; leftovers want a hot skillet. Sweet corn and brown butter want cold acid, not more richness. Mexican lager or Albariño; lime-ginger soda if skipping alcohol.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Pan time scales, because a second panful is a second turn: about 10 minutes at the stove in total. Crowding one pan to save a round drops the heat and stews it.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for brown-butter corn with lime, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- Stovetop occupancy is about 10 minutes at this scale. One pan, do not crowd.
- Holds about 20 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
- Drink pairing: Mexican lager or Albariño; lime-ginger soda if skipping alcohol.
- Leftover route: Keeps 4 days. Reheat in a hot skillet, never a microwave.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Day-of only. Do not make this ahead and invent a hold.
Base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 10 minutes at the stove either way.
