Last year when I posted about how much I like roasting corn, I had several people tell me that the most delicious way to cook corn is to boil it with a cup of milk and a stick butter. I finally got around to trying it and I agree – this is the most delicious way to cook corn.
If you haven’t tried cooking corn this way, you must.
The corn cooks up so flavorful, fresh tasting and rich. You’ll be so obsessed with it you won’t even care what else is being served.
No need to slather butter all over the corn. This corn already has a buttery taste.
Just a little salt and pepper and this corn on the cob is ready to go.
And actually, if you use a stick of salted butter, you might find you don’t even need to add any salt.
Some people add sugar too, but I find the corn available around here during the summer is already sweet enough.
If you suspect your corn is a little lacking in flavor, you might want to add some sugar to perk it up.

I love to shuck corn & get all the strings off. I wash the corn in cold water. Wrap each in paper towels and cook in microwave using fresh vegetable setting.

Due to lactose intolerance, we have a low lactose sugar version of milk. I only used half milk, half water and added a keto friendly sugar substitute. We have a diabetic grandchild. It worked out wonderfully, we will definitely make it again this way.
