Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Start by shucking the corn, removing all the husks and silk threads for a clean cob.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Place the corn in the boiling water and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. Alternatively, you can grill the corn until slightly charred, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the corn from the boiling water or grill and let it cool enough to handle safely.

Step 5

Using a sharp skewer or knitting needle, gently pierce through a row of kernels on one side of the cob. Slide the skewer horizontally through the kernels, threading them to create a uniform line.

Step 6

Repeat the threading process on the opposite side of the cob to make it neat. The threaded corn kernels should be easy to pick up and eat with a fork or fingers.

Step 7

Serve the threaded corn warm with melted butter on the side for added flavor, if desired.
