1
Select Fresh Corn
Choose four ears of fresh corn that are bright green and tightly wrapped in husks. The kernels should be plump and milky when pierced.
2
Remove the Husk
Peel back the husks and remove the silk from each ear of corn. Rinse the corn under cold water to clean.

3
Boil the Corn
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
4
Add Corn to Boiling Water
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the prepared ears of corn to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the corn is tender.
5
Remove and Drain
Using tongs, carefully remove the corn from the pot and let it drain in a colander.

6
Add Butter and Salt
While the corn is still warm, slather each ear with butter and sprinkle with salt to taste.
7
Optional Toppings
For added flavor, you may sprinkle with chili powder, drizzle with lime juice, or add grated Parmesan cheese.
