Ingredients

Instructions:

  • Shuck the corn, removing the husks and silk. If you bought pre-shucked corn, that's perfectly fine.
  • Soak the corn in a bowl of water for 5-10 minutes.
  • Transfer the soaked corn into a pot and fill it with water. Add approximately 1/3 teaspoon of salt. Place the pot on the stove over medium to high heat and wait until the water begins to boil.
  • Once the water starts boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let it sit on the same burner for 10-15 minutes. The longer it sits, closer to 15 minutes, the more tender your corn will be.
  • After the resting period, strain most of the water, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot. Add the butter and sprinkle some Pink Himalayan salt to taste over the corn. Cover the pot with the lid and let it sit for 3 minutes.
  • Give the pot a good shake with the lid on to distribute the butter and salt evenly over the corn. If desired, add a little more salt and shake again.
  • Serve and enjoy your delicious buttered corn on the cob!
