Tips:

  • Choose the right type of corn: Field corn is the best type of corn to use for making corn chips because it has a higher starch content than other types of corn, which makes it easier to grind into a fine powder.
  • Soak the corn overnight: Soaking the corn overnight helps to soften it and make it easier to grind. This also helps to remove some of the starch, which can make the corn chips more crispy.
  • Grind the corn into a fine powder: The finer the corn is ground, the crispier the corn chips will be. You can use a food processor or a blender to grind the corn.
  • Add seasonings to the cornmeal: You can add any seasonings you like to the cornmeal before mixing it with the water. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Press the cornmeal into a thin sheet: The thinner the cornmeal is pressed, the crispier the corn chips will be. You can use a rolling pin or a tortilla press to press the cornmeal into a thin sheet.
  • Cut the cornmeal into triangles: You can use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the cornmeal into triangles. The size of the triangles is up to you, but smaller triangles will be crispier than larger triangles.
  • Fry the corn chips in hot oil: The hotter the oil is, the crispier the corn chips will be. You can use a deep fryer or a large saucepan to fry the corn chips.
  • Drain the corn chips on paper towels: Once the corn chips are fried, drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Making corn chips at home is a fun and easy project that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create delicious and crispy corn chips that are perfect for snacking or serving with your favorite Mexican dishes.
