Corn, Boiled & Buttered

I love fresh corn on the cob! I also love how easy it is to cook as a side dish for any meal or barbecue. It is as simple as one, two, three. Three ingredients, three steps for cooking, and three steps for adding extra flavor.

Ingredients:

• 2 to 12 corn on the cob (the number depends on how big your pan is and how many people you are cooking for)
• 1 cube butter or margarine
• salt

Cooking:

1. Set some water to boil on the stove. You want enough to cover the corn, but not so much it will boil over after the corn is added.
2. Shuck(remove the husks and stringy inner layer) the corn.
3. Place corn in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Be sure to remove the pan from the heat when done cooking, but leave the corn in the water until ready to serve.

Adding flavor:

1. Remove corn from water, draining of as much liquid as possible.
2. Coat with butter. I like to hold the corn by the ends and roll it on the cube of butter until all sides are evenly coated.
3. Lightly sprinkle with salt, and enjoy!
