Milk Boiled Corn on the Cob

So, I found this recipe on Food.com by KittenCalsKitchen, titled Kittencals Milk Boiled Corn on the Cob. The recipe calls for heavy whipping cream, yeah I don't normally have that in the frig - and since this was a last minute decision, I substituted the heavy whipping cream with 1 1/4 cup of milk (as the recipe recommends).

Now on to our opinion,  Justin and I determined that there isn't really a way to compare this to the typical - water boiled corn on the cob.  Helpful eh?  Ok, so I found it to have a sweeter taste --- since you do put 1/3 cup of sugar.  Yes, that's right - you add sugar.  Alas, I think I'm going to stick to the typical way of preparing corn on the cob - and if I have time to grill it. I'll share my technique on grilling corn on the cob when I do it sometime this summer!

On to the recipe:

Milk Boiled Corn on the Cob

I forgot the ingredients picture - sorry!

•  5 quart pan filled half way with water
• 1 Cup of milk
• 1/3 Cup of white sugar
• 1/4 Cup heavy whipping cream (I used 1 1/4 cup of milk (so I used 2 1/4 cups of milk for this recipe))
• 1/4 cup butter (aka 1/2 a stick of butter)
• 6 to 8 ears of corn, husks and silk removed

Combine the water, milk, sugar, whipping cream and butter together in a large pot.

Bring to a boil, and then place the corn on the cob into the pan.  Reduce heat to simmer.  Let the corn cook for 7 to 8 minutes. I did about 8.  They were done before the steaks and noodles were - so I followed the recipe linked above and took them out of the water, and put them in a dish covered with an aluminum foil.

It's pretty straightforward, in my opinion was not as magical as everyone said it was, and it wasted a lot of milk.  With a toddler, milk is precious. Anyway, I encourage everyone to try this to see if they had a better turn out.
