6 servings
- 6 cobs of corn (shucked and broken in half if desired)
- 1 Tbsp fine sea salt (plus more to serve)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
- butter (optional, to serve)
- freshly ground black pepper (optional, to serve)
Steps
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.
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.
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.
