📝 Preparation Steps
1
Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt and 2 Tbsp of sugar. Add corn to the pot and return to a boil.
2
Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and boil for ⏱️ 5 minutes.* The corn is done when it is crisp tender, and has changed a shade in color. Turn off the heat and use tongs to carefully remove the corn from the water to a serving platter.
3
Butter and season your corn with salt and pepper if desired. It is best to eat it fresh, or let it cool and store in a covered container or large zip-top bag and refrigerate.
