Preparation

Step 1
Remove the husks from the corn and cut the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife. You should get 5 to 6 cups of kernels. Place in a saucepan with the water, oil, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring. Cover and continue to boil over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve as soon as possible.
