Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Corn — Choose fresh corn with plump kernels and bright green husks. To remove the silk easily, rub the corn with a damp paper towel before husking.
  • Butter — Soften the butter at room temperature before mixing it with salt. This will ensure easy spreading and even distribution of flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added flavor, sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of paprika over the buttered corn.
  • If you prefer a smoky taste, grill the corn on a barbecue instead of boiling it.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or chives to enhance the flavor of the butter.
