This is the season for corn and my family and I love sweet corn on the cob.
We like it grilled, boiled, steamed, and roasted but until recently I had never tried it ‘Southern style’, which is boiled in a pot of water with milk, butter, and sugar added.
I read about it online and had to give it a try. Guess what? It was pretty darn good!
The corn was tender and sweet and the girl’s even had seconds!

Fill a large pot about halfway with water.
Add 1 cup milk and 1/4 cup sugar.
Add 1 stick of butter.
Add corn, about 6-8.
Bring to a rapid boil.
Reduce heat to low.
Simmer corn for 8-10 minutes or until tender.
Remove from the pot and serve.
