Steps:
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.
- Grill the corn until tender, turning every 5 to 6 minutes, about 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the kernels.
- In a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the corn and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream. Simmer until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Place half of the mixture in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour the pureed mixture back into the skillet and add the milk, cheese, and parsley. Cook over low heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.
GRILLED CORN WITH CHILE BUTTER
In South Africa, charred ears of corn (called braai mielies) are year-round, smoky-sweet roadside snacks. This version is a side dish for the American summer, when corn and grilling are both in season. The cobs are slicked with butter and sparked with chile heat; in South Africa, they would be served alongside a pile of charcoal-grilled lamb chops or steak or giant prawns, or all of the above. For a more rustic effect (and more effort), use the corn husks as a wrapper instead of aluminum foil. Soak the unshucked cobs in cold water for at least 15 minutes. Peel back the husks but do not detach them from the cobs; remove all the cornsilk. After rubbing on the butter, rearrange the husks around each cob and tie in place with twine.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking. For each corn cob, tear a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
- In a bowl, combine the butter, chile, garlic (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust the seasonings; add drops of hot sauce if the butter is not spicy enough. Set aside.
- Shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub butter mixture thoroughly onto each cob, reserving about 1/4 of the mixture for basting. Wrap each buttered cob in aluminum foil.
- When ready to cook, place cobs on the grill (or, if the fire is low, in the coals) and cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed and cooked through.
- Unwrap and place on the grill. Use remaining butter to baste the corn as it grills, turning it until lightly charred and cooked through. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if using.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE, LIME AND CHILE (ELOTES)
Whole ears of corn are a classic street food in Mexico, where they are either grilled or boiled, then often dressed with some combination of lime, chile, mayonnaise and grated cheese. This grilled version calls for all of the above, which get mixed together into a creamy, bracing topping, and slathered all over the hot, sweet ears. It's not strictly traditional, but it does make it easier to assemble the corn and its dressing before serving. Or place the various topping in small bowls and let guests have the fun of garnishing their own. And if you don't have a grill, the broiler works too though watch the ears carefully so they don't burn.

Steps:
- Pull all of the husks back from the corn without removing it. Pull off and remove all the silk, using a soft brush to get the last stubborn strands. Return the husks to their original position and twist the tops.
- In a large deep bowl, cover the corn with cold water and weight down with a plate to keep them all submerged. Let the corn soak for 1 hour. Meanwhile, light a charcoal fire and let it burn until the coals are medium hot. Set the grill rack 4 inches from the hot coals. Lay the corn on the grill rack and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently with tongs. Pull back some husks to test the kernels for doneness if desired. Remove from the grill, let cool for a few minutes and pull the husks back to the base again so that you can use them as a handle for picking up the corn. Set aside until ready to serve the rest of the meal. Brush the corn with the butter and return it to the grill rack for about 10 minutes, turning frequently, until nicely browned. Sprinkle the corn with the chile powder and pass the sour cream and cheese at the table for guests to help themselves.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE AND CHILE
This dish owes its inspiration to our Louisiana neighbors on two sides: the incredible sweet corn that is grown in Indianola, Mississippi, where some of my wife's family is from, and also the wonderful Tex-Mex flavors of our friends in Texas. This recipe is from "Emeril at the Grill" by Emeril Lagasse.

Steps:
- Pull the husks up to cover the ears of corn, 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 or as long as 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, combine the sour cream and milk in a small bowl, and set it aside.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Adjust the grilling rack so that it sits about 4 inches away from the fire.
- Drain the corn but do not remove the husks. Lay the corn on the grill and cook, turning it frequently, until it is crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool slightly. Then pull the husks back to form a handle, and brush the ears evenly with the melted butter. Squeeze the lime halves evenly over the ears of corn. Return the corn to the grill and cook, turning it occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the corn is slightly browned in places. Remove the corn from the heat and brush the ears with some of the sour cream mixture. Divide the cheese evenly among the ears of corn, coating them on all sides. Sprinkle with the chili powder and kosher salt, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Mash together softened butter, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
- Remove a few outer husks from one of the ears, and separate into 8 strips to use for ties; set aside. Working with 1 ear at a time, peel back husks, but leave them attached to base of corn; remove corn silk. Cut 1/2 inch off top of each cob.
- Spread butter mixture onto each cob. Working with 1 ear at a time, pull husks back up, and gather snugly at the top. Tie with a reserved husk strip. Slip the stem of a chile under the knot. Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 8 hours).
- Preheat grill to medium (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Submerge ears in a large bowl of cold water for about 1 minute. Grill corn, turning occasionally, 20 minutes. (Alternatively, transfer ears to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and roast in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.) Serve immediately with melted butter.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob for the best flavor.
- Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to help prevent the kernels from drying out.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Use a variety of chiles in the cream cheese mixture to create different levels of heat.
- Serve the grilled corn immediately with the cream cheese mixture and your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
