Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh sweet corn
- silks removed but husks still attached
- 12 cup light sour cream (or fat free sour cream)
- 2 tablespoons light milk (or skim milk)
- 1 lime
- halved
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (or more to taste)
- 1 12 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Pull husks up to cover the corn ears and place the corn in a large bowl or pot.
- Cover with cold water and place a large plate or other weight on top of the corn so that it remains submerged.
- Allow the corn to soak for at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl combine the sour cream, milk, chili powder (possibly needing more to taste), salt and set aside.
- While the corn is soaking, prepare a grill or barbecue to medium-high.
- Adjust the grilling rack so that it sits about 4 inches away from the fire.
- Lay the corn on the grill and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning frequently.
- Remove and allow to cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Pull the husks back to form a handle and squeeze the lime halves evenly over the ears of corn, and brush the ears with some of the sour cream mixture.
- Place corn in a baking dish and put in the oven for at least 5 minutes, or until ready to serve.
