🧑‍🍳 Creamy Corn on the Cob (Just 2 Ingredients!)

🍴 Ingredients (Serves 4)
4 ears of fresh corn, husked
1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)

4 tbsp unsalted butter
✅ That’s it — no salt, no sugar, no extras needed.

🍳 Instructions

Boil the milk and butter
In a large pot, combine milk and butter.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Add the corn
Carefully place the husked corn ears into the simmering milk mixture.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let the corn simmer for 5–7 minutes.
Let it soak (the secret step!)
Turn off the heat and let the corn sit in the milky butter bath for 5 more minutes.
This allows the kernels to absorb the creamy flavor.
Serve warm
Remove corn, brush with extra butter if desired, and serve immediately.
