Corn on the Cob
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.
Prepare
Husk the corn and keep it cool until ready to use.
Remove all silky threads from the corn.
Cook
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the corn to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
