Equipment

- Baking Sheet
- Paper Towels
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels fresh or canned, drained
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and paprika.
- Add the beaten egg and milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the sweet corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon, drop small scoops of batter into the hot oil. Fry the nuggets in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or honey mustard. Enjoy!
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the batter. These Corn Nuggets are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to maintain their crispiness.
