Soak corn in cold water for 30 minutes. Shuck, remove silks, set aside. Bring 1 qt. of water and sugar to boil in a large pot with tight- fitting lid. Drop corn in boiling water. Begin timing immediately. Allow corn to boil not one second over 4 minutes. Serve immediately with coarse salt and pepper.
