The best and delicious method of cooking corn on the cob is butter bath. You may know many ways to cook the corn on the cob. But butter bath corn is another level recipe. Just thinking about cooking the ears of corn immersed in milk and butter itself is luscious.
Steamed corn cobs are famous among the street foods of India and they are delicious with and without seasoning. But we are making a more impressive version of the corns with the butter bath and seasonings. And it will take a maximum of 10 minutes to prepare it.
The milk-butter bath gives it a sweet flavor and tender texture. The seasoning can be of your choice. Some options from my side are Italian seasoning, lemon, mint and basil, parsley -paprika, or with Indian masala powder. The options are endless and you can experiment with your imagination when it comes to flavoring.
The butter bathed corn is supposed to be served hot. The corn when taken out from the bath will dry out fast. So it is better to take it hot.
