Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Corn: Remove the husks and silk threads from each ear of corn. Rinse under cool water and rub gently to clear away remaining silk.
-
Boil the Water Base: Fill a large stockpot halfway with water (ensuring enough room to fully cover the corn) and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
-
Add Milk & Butter: Pour 1 cup of whole milk and 3 to 4 tablespoons of butter directly into the boiling water. Stir gently until melted, then bring the pot back to a steady boil.
-
Boil the Corn: Lower the corn into the pot with tongs. Leave the pot uncovered and boil for 7 to 8 minutes.
-
Garnish & Serve: Transfer the corn to a serving dish using tongs. Sprinkle with fine sea salt, black pepper, or chopped fresh herbs, and serve hot.
Storage & Flavor Upgrades
-
Refrigeration: Store leftover corn in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave or warm in a skillet with a bit of butter.
-
Zesty Variation: Dust the warm ears with Tajín, smoked paprika, or chili powder for a flavorful Mexican-inspired twist.
