Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 liters water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Husk the ears of corn, removing all the leaves and silks. Rinse the corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
Fill a large stockpot with 4 liters of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon of salt to enhance the flavor of the corn.
Carefully place the ears of corn into the boiling water. Ensure that all the ears are fully submerged.
Reduce the heat to medium and allow the corn to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and bright yellow.
While the corn is boiling, consider preparing some unsalted butter and black pepper as optional toppings.
Using tongs, remove the cooked corn from the pot and transfer it to a serving platter.
Serve the corn hot, with optional butter and black pepper for added flavor. Enjoy!
