Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
