Like asparagus and strawberries, corn is one of the best summer crops. There are countless ways to prepare corn, and I believe most people will agree that one of their favorite summer foods is corn on the cob.
Milk and butter are two basic foods you should add to the pot you cook the corn in if you want the corn on the cob to have a lot of flavor. This strategy is highly recommended and I have personally used it several times. Decision? Delicious.
Before adding the corn to the kettle, pour about a cup of milk and a few teaspoons of butter into the boiling water. Once the corn is cooked, which should take about 7 or 8 minutes, it will be full of flavor. Does that seem simple enough?
These delicious dishes are sure to make your summer corn cooking more interesting.
