Cook's notes
You can add all kinds of extras to your butter, from a simple turn of pepper to fresh herbs and fragrant spices. A pinch or two of chilli always works, as does a squeeze of citrus.

When the BBQ coals have dropped to a steady medium heat pop the corn on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning frequently, until the husks look burnt and charred.

When just cool enough to handle, peel the husk back and rub the corn with salt and butter. Devour straight from the cob using the bunched husks as a heat proof handle.
