Why This Recipe Works

To infuse grilled corn with the flavor of herbed and spiced butters, we first char the corn over a hot fire and then transfer it to a roasting pan full of flavored butter. We cover the pan with aluminum foil and continue to cook the sweet, toasted ears over the flame until they pick up flavor.
