Kittencal's Milk Boiled Corn on the Cob

Kittencalskitchen's 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

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 6 -8 ears corn , husks and silk removed
• water
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ cup whipping cream , unwhipped (or use 1-1/4 cups milk)
• 1⁄3; cup sugar (can use more sugar)
• ¼ cup butter (optional, add to the water)

Directions:

1. Fill a large stock pot half full with water (use a large enough pot to hold all the corn).
2. Add in the cream, milk, sugar and butter.
3. Bring to a boil, then add in the corn cobs.
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. Using long tongs remove and place on a plate or in a bowl, then cover with foil until ready to serve.
6. Serve with butter and salt to taste.
7. Delicious!

Oh, Kitten! I've been wanting to try this recipe for a long time. We just had it for dinner, and it's fantastic. I used 1 1/4 cups of half-and-half, plus the butter and sugar. It's super tender and sweet. Made for ZWT5, Hell's Kitchen Angels.

Made this for the first time last night. I made 6 ears and my son ate 4. It was excellent. I did add a bit of salt to mine after cooking but only b/c I like the sweet salty taste.
