Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen and thawed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other dairy-free milk)
- 1 equivalent large egg substitute (like flax egg or commercial egg replacer)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and the prepared egg substitute until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the corn kernels until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
In a large pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the corn nuggets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Dairy-Free Crispy Corn Nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
