Preparation
- Step 1
Pull back shucks from each ear of corn and remove silks. Close shucks over the grain and secure firmly with a wire twist-tie. Immerse corn in cold water several minutes, letting shucks get thoroughly soaked.
- Step 2
Shake off excess water and bury corn in the hot ashes and coals of a fireplace, a charcoal grill or a campfire and leave there about 1 hour, rotating 3 or 4 times to assure even distribution of heat. Remove and test one ear for doneness. When kernels are tender, remove shucks; apply butter and salt.
