Grilled Corn

1. 1

   Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals.

2. 2

   When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook.

3. 3

   (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)

4. 4

   Meanwhile, shuck the corn, removing both husks and silks.

5. 5

   Fill a large pot halfway with water and set over high heat to come to a simmer.

6. 6

   Add the milk, if using.

7. 7

   Blanch the corn in the pot for about 3 minutes, then stack on a platter.

8. 8

   Apply just a little butter to each ear of corn, then place on grill.

9. 9

   Cook, turning often, until the corn is tender and some of the kernels are beginning to darken, about 5 minutes.

10. 10

    Serve immediately with remaining butter and salt.
