Prepare the corn: Remove the husks and silk. Rinse the corn under cool water.
Boil the water: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Cook the corn: Carefully add the corn and boil for 4–5 minutes, until the kernels are tender.
Add the butter: Drain the corn and immediately spread butter generously over each hot ear.
Serve: Serve while hot and let the melted butter soak into the sweet kernels.
The Secret to the Sweetest Corn
The key is not overcooking it. Fresh summer corn is naturally sweet, so it only needs a few minutes
in boiling water. Cooking it too long can make the kernels softer and less vibrant.
Tip: For the best flavor, use the freshest corn you can find and serve it immediately after cooking
