Preparation

Step 1

In a Deep Fat Fryer or Deep Heavy Dutch Oven Preheat Peanut Oil Or Other Oil to 375 Degrees F.

Dip corn-on-the-cob ears into cornmeal batter to coat. Roll in cornflake crumbs. With cooking tongs, holding at a distance, slowly place a few ears of corn in hot oil, 1 at the time. Fry for about 3 minutes per ear or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with corn holders in each end and in corn dishes (if you have them) while hot. Season as desired with salt and black pepper.
