Corn on the cob with potted crab butter

Ingredients
125g unsalted butter, softened
½ lemon, zest, plus a squeeze of juice
½ tsp cayenne pepper
¾ tsp ground mace
¼ tsp salt
100g mixed brown and white crab meat
8 corn on the cob
1 tbsp olive oil, for griddling
handful chopped chives
Method
In a medium bowl, beat together the butter, lemon zest and juice, spices, salt and a grinding of black pepper. Fold through the crab meat until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large piece of baking parchment and roll up into a rough sausage shape; chill for about 30 minutes, until firm.
Heat a griddle pan until hot. Rub the corn cobs lightly with olive oil and griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side, until tender and charred with dark spots; they’ll need 12-15 minutes in total. Top the hot cobs with slices of the crab butter and sprinkle with the chives before serving.
