Start by removing your corn from the cob.
Once the corn is removed from the cob, transfer it to a skillet.
Add enough water to just cover the corn.
Heat the corn over medium heat until it starts to boil around the edges.
Once it starts to boil, add your salt, pepper, and butter to the skillet. Stir the corn frequently to ensure it’s all incorporated.
Allow the corn to continue simmer over medium heat for around 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the cold milk with the cornstarch in a separate bowl. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it is incorporated and frothy.
Pour the cornstarch mixture into the corn.
Stir continuously until the corn is thick and creamy.
Serve warm.
