Ingredients
- 5 to 6 ears corn, in husks
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- Cold water
- 2 cups milk
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Cotton kitchen string, to tie the corn ( use only cotton string not nylon)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Carefully peel back the husks for the corn to within 1-inch of the bottom; remove the silk and discard silk.
-
Step 2: In a bowl combine soft butter with fresh parsley, salt and black pepper; spread over the corn (I use my hands for this). Rewrap corn in the husks. Tie with a heavy string in two places near the top and bottom.
-
Step 3: Place the corn in a very large bowl; cover with cold water then mix in 2 cups milk into the water (make certain to soak the corn with the string on). Soak the corn in the water/milk mixture for about 30 minutes or a little more (no less than 30 minutes!).
-
Step 4: Grill the corn covered on the grill over medium heat, and cook for 22-30 minutes or until tender (turning often). Serve with more butter, salt and freshly grated Parmesan cheese (I use a cheese shaker to shake the cheese onto the corn at the table while eating).
