Once you’ve mastered boiling corn with milk, you’ll find that this enhanced corn is wonderful on its own or as an addition to other dishes. Cut the kernels off the cob and toss them into salads or stir them into a creamy chowder. The improved flavor and texture can elevate even the simplest dish.
If you’ve been boiling your corn just in water, give the milk method a try. It’s a small change that can make a world of difference and might just become your new family tradition. Next time you’re at a potluck or family gathering, bring a batch of your milk-boiled corn. You’ll probably be bombarded with questions about your secret to such delicious corn, and when you share it, you’ll be passing on a tradition of flavor that can spread far beyond your kitchen.
