Step 1: Prepare the Corn
Remove the husks and silk from the corn.
Rinse the corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
You can keep the corn whole or cut it into smaller pieces, like in the picture.
Step 2: Boil the Water
Fill a large pot with water and place it on the stove over high heat.
Add the salt and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 3: Cook the Corn
Carefully place the corn pieces into the boiling water.
Let them cook for 8–10 minutes until the kernels become tender and bright yellow.
Step 4: Drain the Corn
Remove the corn from the pot using tongs or a slotted spoon.
Let the excess water drain.
Step 5: Add Butter and Seasoning
Place the hot corn on a serving plate.
Spread butter over the corn so it melts into the kernels.
Sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, or paprika if desired.
Serving Ideas
