This method of cooking corn on the cob is the only one I will ever use for the rest of my life. Everyone said it was so delicious and tasty. Since it is cooked in the butter, it already has that buttery taste. We didn’t feel the need to have to add more butter or even salt when we were eating them. That made the corn much less messy to eat.
Do you like milk and butter boiled corn on the cob? Have you ever tried it before?
I usually boil my corn for 20 minutes. This will be a must try recipe!
I hope you do try it out! Let me know how you like it 🙂
I would have never thought of boiling corn on the cob in milk. I am going to have to try your recipe. It sounds good!
It’s one of those odd things that turns out so delicious.
I’ve seriously never heard of making corn on the cob like this. I’ve always just boiled it in water or made it in the microwave (yup, it actually works!). I’m definitely trying it with milk, sugar, and butter the next time I make corn on the cob. It really sounds delicious. I bet the sugar and butter just infuse into the corn and give it that sweet yummy goodness.
The corn turns out very yummy with a sweet buttery taste. I have heard of the microwave trick but we always have to make so many that I never tried it. Let me know if you like it!
It really is. Thank you for sharing because I can never quite remember the exact amount of each ingredient.
You are very welcome!
Oooh, this sounds so good!! I’m with you, I love corn on the cob but I don’t make it a lot because of the same reasons, it usually seems like a big hassle. Last time I did it was when I was grilling. I would definitely try this, I’m intrigued by the thought of not having to add butter! Thanks for the idea!
You’re welcome! I always love anything that isn’t so messy, yet still tasty.
