Wait. Before you toss those corn cobs, milk them. After you’ve stripped off a corn cobs kernels, you have access to all the flavorful juices trapped within the cobs pulp. This milk contains super concentrated sweet corn flavor. Here’s how to extract it. Cut the kernels from the corn. Then, holding the cobs over a bowl, use the back of your knife to scrape off the pulp. Transfer the pulp to a clean dish towel. Wrap the towel tightly around the pulp and squeeze until the pulp is dry. Add your corn milk to corn chowder or any dish that could use an extra dose of corny flavor.
