Ingredients
- 6 ears Corn on the cob
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 4 cups Water
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel back the husks of each ear of corn without removing them completely. Remove the silk threads from the corn kernels and rinse the ears under cold water to clean.
Step 2
Gently fold the husks back over the corn, covering the kernels entirely.
Step 3
In a large bowl or pot, combine the whole milk and water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture and stir to dissolve.
Step 4
Submerge the ears of corn into the milk and water mixture, making sure they're fully covered. Allow the corn to soak for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
Step 6
Remove the corn from the milk mixture and shake off any excess liquid. Leave the husks on as they will protect the kernels during grilling.
Step 7
Place the corn on the grill, directly over the heat. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning the corn every 5 minutes to cook evenly. The husks will char, but the kernels inside will steam and cook to perfection.
Step 8
Carefully remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Peel back the charred husks and discard.
Step 9
Brush the corn generously with unsalted butter and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the tender, juicy corn with a hint of smokiness and sweetness!
