Ingredients
- Fresh sweet corn
- Pure maple syrup
- Unsalted butter
- Sea salt
- Optional spices (cayenne pepper or smoked paprika)
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to give those lovely grill marks.
- Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn, removing all the silk and outer leaves. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. If you prefer, you can soak the corn in water for about 30 minutes to help keep it moist during grilling.
- Make the Maple Butter: In a small bowl, mix together melted unsalted butter and maple syrup. Use a ratio of about 3 tablespoons of butter to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Adjust to your taste. You can also mix in any spices you choose at this stage.
- Brush the Corn: Using a basting brush, generously coat each ear of corn with the maple butter mixture, ensuring every kernel is covered.
- Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has beautiful char marks.
- Add More Maple Butter: In the last few minutes, brush on more maple butter for an extra layer of flavor.
- Season and Serve: Once done, remove the corn from the grill. Sprinkle with sea salt (and any additional spices) while it’s still hot. Serve immediately, and enjoy your sweet and savory treat!
