Corn in Milk

Ingredients

• Sweet Corn Sticks 4 pieces
• Milk 10 fl oz
• Water 5 qt
• Butter 5 oz
• Sugar to taste
• Coarse Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Remove the kernels and the silky threads from the corn.

Step 3

Take a pot of suitable size; if the corn cobs are too large, cut them in half or into thirds.

Step 4

Fill the pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil.

Step 5

Pour in the milk and add a piece of butter (50 g). Keep the remaining butter in the refrigerator; it should be cold and firm.

Step 6

If the corn is not sweet, add a spoonful of sugar to the mixture. There is no need to add salt, as it will make the kernels tough.

Step 7

Add the corn to the milk mixture and bring to a boil.

Step 8

Boil for 15–20 minutes. The exact time depends on how young the corn is. Check for doneness by piercing one of the kernels with a toothpick.

Step 9

Drop the butter into a bowl with sea salt.

Step 10

Grate hot corn with cold butter and salt, and eat immediately.
