Grilled Creamed Corn
(Racheal Ray Every Day magazine)
8 fresh ears corn, shucked
2 tbls. butter
2 tbls. flour
1-1/4 cups milk
3 tbls. cream cheese
Salt and Black Pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Arrange the corn on the grate and grill, turning occasionally, until the kernels are golden-brown and softened, 8-10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove the corn kernels from the cobs; discard the cobs. (You should have about 5 cups kernels). Lower the grill temperature to medium. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over the grate. Add the butter to melt, then whisk in the flour until combined and foaming, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream cheese and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and thick, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the corn kernels; season with salt, black pepper and the cayenne and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
