Get ready to enjoy these delicious Corn Nuggets, an ideal snack or side dish that brings the sweet, creamy goodness of corn in a crispy, golden bite!
Instructions
Mix the Corn: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn and creamed corn. Cover the bowl and freeze for 2-3 hours, until slightly firm.
Prepare the Batter: In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Add the beaten egg and milk, stirring until smooth.
Form the Nuggets: Scoop spoonfuls of the semi-frozen corn mixture and shape into small balls.
Dip and Coat: Dip each corn ball into the batter, ensuring an even coating.
Fry the Nuggets: Heat oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop each coated corn nugget into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve: Enjoy your crispy, golden Corn Nuggets warm with a side of ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite dip!
