Ingredients

8 ears corn on the cob (silk removed, husks pulled and tied back (see note).)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Water
Butter (optional (see note))

Instructions

6 steps

Fill a large pot, about the same height as the length of the corncob, with water.

Add sugar, stir, and bring the sugar water to a boil. Set the prepared ears of corn in the boiling water with the tied-back husks leaning against the sides of the pot.

Boil the corn for 1 minute, then remove the ears with tongs. (The husks soften in the boiling water, so try to keep them out of the water and do not pull on the husks when removing the ears from the water.)

1 min

Set the corn on a serving plate.

Butter

If buttered corn-on-the-cob is desired, butter a slice of bread then rub the ear of corn across the bread to butter it evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
