The fresher the corn is, the less time it will take to cook. It should be freed from husks and the silk threads. Have a large saucepan nearly full of boiling water. Drop the corn into this, and cook for ten minutes. Serve in a napkin.
Canned Corn.
1 can of corn.
1 gill of milk.
1 tablespoonful of butter.
1 teaspoonful of salt.
Put all the ingredients in the double-boiler, and heat to the boiling point; it will take about ten minutes. Serve at once. Too much cooking spoils this dish.
Corn Oysters.
1/2 pint of grated green corn.
2 tablespoonfuls of milk.
