Buttered sweet corn recipe

 Here's a simple recipe for classic buttered sweet corn on the cob:

**Buttered Sweet Corn on the Cob**

**Ingredients:**
- Fresh sweet corn on the cob (as many as you need)
- Butter (1-2 tablespoons per cob)
- Salt and pepper to taste

**Instructions:**
1. Start by shucking the corn, removing the husks and silk strands.

2. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.

3. Carefully place the corn cobs into the boiling water. Boil them for about 4-6 minutes until they are tender. Don't overcook, as sweet corn cooks relatively quickly.

4. While the corn is boiling, prepare a bowl with ice water. After boiling, immediately transfer the corn cobs to the ice water. This stops the cooking process and helps retain their crispness and color.

5. Once the corn has cooled in the ice water for a minute or two, remove them and let them drain briefly.

6. Spread butter over each cob while they are still warm. The heat will melt the butter and make it easier to coat the corn evenly.

7. Season the buttered corn with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve the buttered sweet corn on the cob while it's still warm, and enjoy!

This simple recipe brings out the natural sweetness of the corn, making it a perfect side dish for summer meals. You can adjust the amount of butter and seasonings according to your taste preferences.
