Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. two cups of milk
  2. one-half cup of butter

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Scrape with a knife six ears of green corn, cutting each row through the middle.
  2. Add two cups of milk, one-half cup of butter, three eggs--the whites and yolks beaten separately--a little salt and white pepper.
  3. Stir the yolks into the milk and corn, pour into a baking dish, stir in the whites and bake one and one-half hours.
