Full disclosure - I haven't tried this recipe yet. I do cook my corn on the cob in water, salt, sugar, butter and milk. I don't measure and I only have two ears to cook but a dash of this and a bit of that and the corn is wonderful. But - I've never added red pepper flakes. That sounds genius! Can't wait for corn season to try it. Corn cooked this way doesn't need anything else added. I eat my corn plain - no added butter or salt.

Loved this way of cooking corn on the cob. The milk and butter really gives it a great flavor. It all worked so well! -
