BOILED CORN

Choose short, thick ears of fresh corn, remove all the
husks except the inner layer: strip that down far enough to remove the
silk and any defective grains and then replace it, and tie at the upper
end of each ear of corn. Have ready a large pot half full of boiling
water, put in the corn and boil steadily for about twenty minutes, if
the ears are large, and fifteen minutes if they are small. Remove from
the boiling water, take off the strings, and serve hot at once. If
desirable, the inner husk may be removed before serving, but this must
be done very quickly, and the ears covered with a napkin or a clean
towel to prevent the heat from escaping. Serve plenty of salt, butter
and pepper with the corn. These may be mixed by heating them together,
and serve in a gravy bowl.Chicken Recipes
