Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Corn Kernels
- 1 cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly and then add the milk. Mix until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth batter.
Fold the fresh corn kernels into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
In a deep frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using two spoons or a small cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of corn batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the corn nuggets for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the corn nuggets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free crispy corn nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce!
