Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
1. Pull the husks back from each ear of corn, leaving them attached at the stem. Gather the husk back at the stem to form a handle – then remove all corn silk.
2. Light or preheat grill pan.
3. In a small bowl, blend together butter and honey. Spread the honey butter evenly all over the ears of corn. Season the corn with salt and cayenne, then press a sprig of oregano onto the corn.
4. Pull the husks back over the corn and tie with a kitchen string.
5. Grill the corn over medium heat, turning, until the husks are lightly charred and the kernels are tender – this usually takes 15 minutes.
