Step 3: Add the Milk and Butter
Once the water is boiling, add the milk and butter. Stir gently until the butter melts, then allow the mixture to return to a gentle boil.
Step 4: Add the Corn
Carefully place the corn into the pot using tongs. Arrange the ears as needed so they are fully submerged in the liquid.
Step 5: Cook the Corn
Boil the corn uncovered for 7 to 8 minutes.
Important: Avoid overcooking the corn. Cooking it longer than 8 minutes can result in tougher kernels and a less desirable texture.
Step 6: Drain and Serve
Remove the corn from the pot with tongs and allow any excess liquid to drain. Transfer the corn to a serving platter and serve immediately. Add extra butter, salt, or your favorite seasonings if desired.
