Easy Corn on the Cob Recipe Using Only 2 Ingredients
Corn on the cob is a summertime classic—sweet, juicy, and perfect for cookouts or quick dinners. The best part? You don’t need a long list of ingredients or complicated steps. With just two simple ingredients, you can whip up corn on the cob that’s bursting with flavor.
What You’ll Need:
-
Fresh ears of corn
-
Salted butter (or unsalted, if you prefer to control the salt level)
Directions:
-
Boil the Corn: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. While you’re waiting, remove the husks and silks from the corn. Once the water is bubbling, carefully place the corn into the pot. Let it boil for 6–8 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.
-
Add the Flavor: Remove the corn from the pot and let it cool slightly. While it’s still warm, slather each ear with butter. The heat will melt the butter perfectly, soaking into every bite. Sprinkle a pinch of salt if desired.
And that’s it! No need for fancy spices or sauces—this two-ingredient recipe keeps things simple while letting the natural sweetness of the corn shine through.
Optional Twist:
If you’re feeling a little extra, squeeze a bit of lime over the buttered corn or sprinkle on a dash of paprika or pepper. But even without those, this recipe stands deliciously on its own.
