1
Prepare the Corn
Begin by selecting 4 fresh ears of corn. Ensure they are firm and the husks are green and tightly wrapped around the corn.
2
Boil Water
In a large pot, fill it with water enough to cover the corn. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
3
Cooking the Corn
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn on the cob. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 8-10 minutes. The corn should be tender but still crisp.
4
Drain the Corn
After cooking, use tongs to carefully remove the corn from the pot and place it on a plate to drain.
5
Season the Corn
While the corn is still warm, spread 1 tablespoon of butter on each ear of corn. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, add optional toppings such as grated Parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of chili powder, or a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
7
Serve
Serve the corn hot on a platter, and enjoy your delicious corn-on-the-cob!
