Milk boiled corn is a classic favorite. Although a bit indulgent, this will be the best boiled corn you ever eat!
Ingredients
- 2-6 Ears of Corn, depending on amount needed to serve
- 5 c Water
- 1 c Heavy Cream or Whole Milk
- 1 Stick of Butter
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare corn by shucking.
- Slice off each end piece of the corn. This gives you neat corn sections but is optional. I usually cut corn on the cob into halves or thirds. You can serve the whole ear of corn if preferred.
- Add water, heavy cream or milk, butter and seasonings to a stock pot or dutch oven.
- Add the corn on the cob pieces.
- Bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove corn and serve.
