Kittencal's Milk Boiled Corn on the Cob

Recipe #121897 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

A method I have been using for over 30 years, you will never boil corn in just water again once you try this, this method produces a very tender and sweet corn on the cob, I promise! --- do not add in any salt to the water as it will make the corn tough

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 6-8 ears corn, husks and silk removed
  • water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup whipping cream, unwhipped (or use 1-1/4 cups milk)
  • 1/3 cup sugar (can use more sugar)
  • 1/4 cup butter (optional and to add to the water)

Directions

  1. 1
    Fill a large stock pot half full with water (use a large enough pot to hold all the corn).
  2. 2
    Add in the cream, milk, sugar and butter.
  3. 3
    Bring to a boil, then add in the corn cobs.
  4. 4
    Reduce heat to a simmer and allow corn to cook for 7-8 minutes or until just tender, depending on size of corn try not to over cook the corn as it will become tough.
  5. 5
    Using long tongs remove and place on a plate or in a bowl, then cover with foil until ready to serve.
  6. 6
    Serve with butter and salt to taste.
  7. 7
    Delicious!

This is really amazing! So easy to do and it's the best corn you'll ever eat.

    I use a variation of this recipe after reading it one day-- basically I just do mostly water and dump in about 1 cup of milk (I don't measure) and a T or so of sugar and cook according to her directions... tastes amazing!!

    Excellent way to cook corn...only difference I've always used is brown sugar instead of white. Always tender, always sweet ...
