Corn Nugs Recipe

Directions for Making Corn Nugs

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Dough

   In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

3. 3

   Form the Nuggets

   Take a small amount of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a spoonful of the corn and cream cheese filling in the center, then fold the dough over the filling and shape it into a nugget. Repeat until all the dough and filling are used.

4. 4

   Fry the Nuggets

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the corn nuggets in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the corn nugs warm with your choice of signature dip.
