Ingredients
Scale
3 cloves garlic, halved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 ears corn, husks removed and halved
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Grab a big stockpot or Dutch Oven Pot and pour in 4 cups of water. Toss in the garlic, salt, and pepper, then bring it all to a boil over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 10 minutes so those flavors can start doing their thing.
- Next, stir in the milk, butter, and brown sugar (if you’re using it). Bring it back to a gentle boil, then carefully add in the corn. Reduce the heat and let it simmer away until the corn is perfectly tender, about 10 minutes.
- Serve it up right away, and if you’re feeling a little extra, sprinkle on some fresh chives. That’s it, corn magic in a pot.
