For the Corn Nuggets

Method

For the Corn Nuggets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the sweet corn, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it's hot enough for frying (about 350°F or 175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Nuggets

    Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried nuggets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side.
