The buttery grilled taste of state fair corn is something that people look forward to all year. But, what if you could recreate that fair taste for a fraction of the cost, at home, anytime you wanted?
Corn was on sale for .25 an ear, so I picked some up to figure out this recipe. I knew I wanted to grill them, but was trying to figure out a way to grill them without making a big mess or the kernels getting burned.
Since I had some heavy duty aluminum foil on hand, I pulled it down and measured out separate sheets for each ear of corn. I also recently picked up some Land O’ Lakes European butter via my work as a BzzAgent. Since this butter is very rich and creamy, I thought it was the perfect complement to this recipe.
- 6 ears of corn
- 6 Tablespoons Land O' Lakes European butter
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 6 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil
-
Tear off 6 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil.
-
Tear husks and silks off ears of corn.
-
Lay one ear of corn in the center of each piece of aluminum foil.
-
Cut one tablespoon of butter into four long slices and place across top of ear of corn.
-
Salt and pepper corn.
-
Pull the sides of the foil up and roll them together to form a tent. Pull the two shorter sides up and roll them together.
-
Your corn is now in a pocket of aluminum foil.
-
Place foil packets on grill for 20-25 minutes.
The result was pure summer deliciousness. The corn turned out tender, buttery and flavorful.
