Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob (with husks intact)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Gently peel back the outer layers of the corn husks without removing them completely, exposing the kernels. Remove the silk strands from each ear of corn.
Step 3
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over the kernels of each corn ear. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper evenly over the buttered corn.
Step 4
Carefully fold the husks back over the kernels to encase the corn fully. If necessary, use a small piece of kitchen twine to tie the husks in place.
Step 5
Submerge the prepared corn in a large bowl of water and soak for 10 minutes to prevent the husks from burning during cooking.
Step 6
Place the corn directly on the grill grates or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 25–30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The corn is done when the kernels are tender and fully cooked.
Step 7
Remove the corn from the grill or oven and let it cool slightly. Carefully peel back the husks (optional: leave them partially attached for presentation) before serving.
Step 8
Serve the corn hot, with additional butter, salt, and pepper if desired.
