Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened, plus 3 tablespoons
6 ears of corn, silks removed, husks left on
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Zest of 1 lime
1 cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Instructions

Fill a stockpot halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the milk, sugar, the 3 tablespoons butter, and some salt and pepper to the boiling water. Add the corn and boil for 15 minutes; remove and pat dry. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Place the corn (husks on) on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, to lightly char the kernels, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the softened 8 tablespoons butter and the garlic powder, smoked paprika, lime zest and some salt and pepper. Peel back the corn husks to expose the kernels. Using a pastry brush, brush the grilled corn with the butter mixture evenly on all sides. Sprinkle generously with the Cotija. Serve.
