Recipe
Buttered Corn on the Cob
Ingredients
- 5 cobs of corn, shucked/peeled
- 1-2 Tbsp sugar, or salt
- unsalted butter, optional to serve
- Black pepper, freshly ground (optional)
Directions
- Place corn in a large soup/stock pot and fill it with enough water to cover the corn.
- Bring water to a boil and add 2 Tbsp of sugar (1 Tbsp for a smaller pot and 2 for a huge one).
- Cover, reduce heat to medium and boil 15 minutes. When time is up, sample few kernels of corn before turning off. "Older" corn may take a few more minutes to cook. Kernels should be crisp-tender.
- Remove from heat and drain. Butter and pepper your corn if you like. Best to eat it fresh, or wrap it in foil and save it for later.
