Recipe Notes

You can add whatever seasonings you like into the butter bath.

This recipe can do lots of ears of corn, so add as many as can fit in the pot.

The corn could also be grilled after its bath on an outdoor grill or in a smoker.

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the water, butter, milk, honey, crushed red pepper flakes and cayenne, if using, into a pot.

2. Add the corn. Bring to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes, turning the corn often.

3. Let the corn sit in the liquid while you finish dinner to soak up more of the flavor.
