"Housewives who boil corn should be boiled."
Nero Wolfe was a real misogynist, but he was right about that.
So get some white corn, as fresh as possible, in the husks. Snip the tassels off the pointy end. Strip off very loose husks but leave the rest. Rinse, pointy end up.
Bake at 400F for 40 minutes. Then fold back the husks and snip to form handles on the big end. Remove silk and rub with butter. Add salt and pepper. That's it.
