1
Prepare the Corn
Start by husking the corn. Remove the outer green layers and the silky threads to reveal the corn kernels. Rinse the corn under cool water to remove any remaining silk.
2
Boil Water
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3
Cook the Corn
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn on the cob to the pot. Boil for 7-10 minutes, depending on the size of the ears. The kernels should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
4
Drain and Butter
After cooking, use tongs to remove the corn from the pot and place it on a plate. Allow it to drain briefly. While still hot, spread a pat of butter over each ear of corn, allowing it to melt into the kernels.
5
Season
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the buttered corn to taste. For added flavor, consider using optional toppings like grated Parmesan cheese, chili powder, or fresh chopped cilantro.
