Add the ancho powder, paprika, cumin and cayenne and cook for 1 minute.
Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces.
Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth.

Remove corn from water and shake off excess.
Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife.
Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels.
How to remove corn kernels from cob: To remove kernels from cobs of either raw or cooked corn, stand cob upright on its stem end in a large pan, holding tip with fingers.
