Recipe Introduction

Ears of sweet corn are a summertime favorite. Once corn is picked from the stalk, the sugar in the corn starts to convert to starch. Therefore, the sooner the ears of corn can be cooked the better.

List of Ingredients

4 ears of corn (whole)
6 cups water
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper



Recipe

Just before cooking, peel away the husks, remove the tassels and silk from ears of corn. Place water in a large stockpot over high heat, bring to a rapid boil; add corn to water. Cover and boil 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; drain and serve with butter, salt, and pepper.

You did not ask, but here is an easy way to strip the silk from the

ears.....before you shuck the corn, hold the ear upright and roll it back

and forth several times in your hands, rather firmly....it loosens the silks

and they come off easier.....
