Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 2

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. Stir in the corn kernels.

Combining Mixtures

  1. 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.

Frying

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Warm

    Serve the corn nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
