How to Milk A Corn Cob

Monday, July 25, 2016

Yes, you read that title right: How to Milk a Corn Cob. "But corn doesn't have milk," you say? In a few short steps, you'll learn that the juice from a corn cob is in fact a great addition to many recipes, like this week's Low Country Boil.

What you'll need:

- Fresh corn on the cob

- A sharp knife

- A bundt pan, plate or bowl

Once your corn is husked, you'll want to stand it up and slice the kernels off. Leave just a little kernel behind for extra flavor in your corn cob milk. We love the suggestions from the blog So Very Blessed to use a bundt pan to stand it up, but you can just hold it over a plate or a bowl if you'd prefer.

Once your corn cob is bare, the milking begins. Over a bowl, plate or bundt pan, run the back (blunt) edge of your knife up or down the cob, gathering milk as you go. Don't let any of this delicious juice slip away. Continue around the entire cob.

And voila! You can officially tell your friends that you've milked a corn cob.
