Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 4 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Shuck the corn and remove all silk strands. Rinse each ear under cold water to clean thoroughly.
In a large pot, combine the whole milk and water. Stir in the granulated sugar and salt, then place the pot over medium-high heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the liquid mixture, allowing it to melt as the liquid comes to a gentle boil.
Once the liquid is boiling, carefully add the cleaned corn on the cob to the pot. Ensure all ears are fully submerged; if necessary, add a bit more water to cover.
Reduce the heat to medium, and let the corn simmer for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor absorption.
After simmering, carefully remove the corn from the pot using tongs and set aside on a serving platter.
Optionally, sprinkle black pepper over the corn before serving for added flavor.
Serve the milk-boiled corn immediately for the best taste and texture. Pair it with your favorite grilled dishes or enjoy it as a standalone treat.
