Ingredients
- 4 corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons butter or to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
- Remove husks and silk from corn. Break cobs in half if desired.
- Once water is boiling, add corn and boil for 4-5 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover.
- Leave the corn in the hot water for 5 minutes longer or up to 30 minutes. Drain well.
- Place corn back into the warm pot, add butter, salt & pepper and toss to coat.
Notes
- If you'd like to prepare the corn ahead, you can let it boil for 1-2 minutes and then cover and let it sit in the hot water for 30-45 minutes.
- The method of letting the corn sit in the water (instead of boiling) keeps it juicy without overcooking the kernels.
- Cut the cobs in half to fit into a smaller pot or feed smaller appetites! Run a knife around the cob where you'd like to break it in half and grasp each end.
