Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn, husks on
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the ears of corn, with their husks still on, on the grill grates.
  3. Cook the corn for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the husks are charred and the corn is tender. The husks will act as a protective barrier, steaming the corn inside.

  5. To clean and shuck the corn, start by cutting off the stalk end of the corn.
  6. Hold the other end of the husk and gently shake the corn to loosen it from the husk.
  7. Peel back the husk and remove it completely, along with the silk strands.
  8. Using a brush or your fingers, spread the softened butter evenly over the corn.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately while still warm.
