- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the water.
- Stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Add your fresh corn and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes.
The result is tender corn with a slightly buttery, sweet flavor infused into every bite.
While the milk and butter do not dramatically change the texture, many cooks believe they help preserve the corn’s natural sweetness and create a more luxurious taste.
Ingredients
- 4 to 6 ears of fresh corn, husks removed
- 1 cup milk
- 2 to 4 tablespoons butter
- Water to fill the pot
