Time 45m

Yield 75

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds frozen white shoepeg corn, thawed and drained
4 cups yellow cornmeal, or more as needed
1 ½ cups enriched flour, or more as needed
1 cup white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons salt
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Mix corn, cornmeal, flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl until it forms a paste. If the mixture is runny, add equal amounts of flour and cornmeal to reach a paste-like consistency.
  • Cover a sheet of waxed paper with a light dusting of flour. Place a tablespoon of the corn mixture on the waxed paper and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more flour to the wax paper as needed.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place batches of nuggets into the hot oil and fry until golden, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

I added some chopped jalapenos to the batter and they turned out amazing! They had a nice spicy kick.

I had a hard time getting the corn nuggets to stay together. They kept falling apart in the oil.

These corn nuggets were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred to bake them instead.
