Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh corn kernels until evenly distributed in the batter.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.
Fry the corn nuggets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the nuggets from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious soy-free crispy corn nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce.
