Method

Remove the leaves of the corn’s husk down to the last layer. Pull off the silky threads. Put the cobs in a pan of boiling water, adding the sugar. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Drain well.
Pull back the leaves, spray or brush the corn cob with oil, then rub in the spices.
Put the cobs on a hot pan, and cook for about 10 mins, turning them occasionally, until just tender and beginning to char. Char lime wedges for a couple of mins. Serve with extra oil, or butter if you like.

Top Tip for making Smoked corn on the cob

If you prefer your cobs without the spice rubbed in, serve them with a spicy or herby butter.
