Ingredients
  • 1 gallon cold water
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 8 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
  • 1/2 cup softened butter, or to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Fill a large container with chilled water, then add sugar and 1/2 cup of finely ground salt, stirring until they are completely incorporated.
2
Submerge the corn kernels in this mixture and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 8 hours.
3
Heat up a grill over high flames and lightly coat the grill's surface with oil.

Place the corn on the preheated grill, turning it frequently every 2 to 3 minutes, until it develops a slight caramelization on all sides.

Spread butter evenly over the corn; sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
