Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Remove the husks and silk from the corn on the cob. Rinse the corn under cold water to clean.

  2. 2

    Boiling Water

    In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the corn to a rolling boil over high heat.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Corn

    Once the water is boiling, add the corn to the pot. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the corn is tender.

  2. 4

    Drain the Corn

    Using tongs, carefully remove the corn from the pot and allow it to drain in a colander.

Serving

  1. 5

    Butter the Corn

    While the corn is still warm, spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over each ear of corn, allowing it to melt.

  2. 6

    Season

    Sprinkle each ear with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, chop fresh parsley and sprinkle on top for added flavor and garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Place the buttered corn on a serving platter or individual plates and serve immediately.
