1cupwhole milk
4tablespoonsbuttermelted
½teaspoonsalt
½teaspoonblack pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter or grease an 8x8 baking dish.
Shuck and remove the silks from the corn. Over a large bowl or pan, use a sharp knife to cut down the length of the cob removing the top half of the corn kernels. Then go back over the cob with the flat side of a knife and scrape all the milky liquid into the bowl with the kernels.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing well.
Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the edges start to turn golden brown.
Notes
If using frozen corn, remove the corn from the freezer about 30 minutes before mixing to allow it to partially thaw.
This recipe may be made a day ahead and reheated gently (200-degree oven) before serving.
