Summer is the perfect time for sweet, juicy corn on the cob. One of the easiest ways to cook corn and make it extra tasty requires just milk and butter.
To cook, bring water to a boil and pour in a cup of milk with a few tablespoons of butter. When the mixture is hot and melted, drop in the corn and let it boil for about seven or eight minutes. This simple addition makes the corn creamy and tender, with a slight sweetness and buttery flavor that makes every bite a delight.
If you want to experiment, grilled Mexican street corn is a fun choice. Corn is grilled until charred, then coated with a sauce made from mayo, lime juice, chili powder, and cheese for a smoky, tangy flavor.
For something fresh and colorful, try a summer corn salad with corn kernels, tomatoes, avocado, onion, and fresh herbs tossed in vinaigrette.
And for a rich, indulgent dish, cheddar bacon ranch corn combines cheese, bacon, and ranch dressing for a delicious crowd-pleaser.
Corn on the cob can be simple or adventurous, but either way, it’s a delicious summer star. Pick up some fresh corn and enjoy cooking with these tasty ideas.
