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.

So dang good! Use the broth for delicious potato soup. Add in leftover corn, but there won’t be any, of course.
Oh my gosh! I just made this today. And I am doing the same! Potato soup is on the stove now!
This corn was truly delicious, plump and flavorful. I added cotija cheese, Tajin spice and some flat leaf parsley to give it a Mexican Street corn flavor. Corn did not need butter or salt. People at the table loved it. I will definitely make it again. Yum.
