How to Make Amish Corn On The Cob

  1. Shuck the corn, removing all the silk and husks.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the corn cobs.
  3. Boil the corn for 8-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust cooking time based on corn size and desired tenderness.
  4. Remove the corn from the boiling water and serve immediately with butter, salt, and pepper (or your favorite toppings!).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
