By á-8559

Corn nuggets are similar to fritters and a great appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 can creamed corn
• 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg white
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 3 cups vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together the creamed corn and the drained whole kernel corn. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture onto the sheet, and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.

When the freezer time is up, heat one to two inches of oil in a large deep skillet. While the oil is heating, mix together the cornmeal, flour, egg white, milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Dip the frozen corn nuggets into the batter. Quickly fry in hot oil until golden brown. Remove, place on paper towels to drain.
