Step 1
Fill a large pot with 8 cups water and 1 tbsp salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Carefully add 4 ears of corn to the boiling water. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until kernels are bright yellow and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Using tongs, remove the corn from the water and drain briefly. Serve hot with 2 tbsp butter spread over the ears, adding more salt if desired.
