1
Prepare the Dry Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
2
Prepare the Wet Mixture
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. Stir in the corn kernels.

3
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles when added.
5
Forming the Nuggets
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6
Fry Until Golden Brown
Fry the nuggets for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
