Corn Nuggets

By dawnu1

This southern side dish is great with barbecue or as an appetizer at a pool party. While you have the fryer out, fry up some onion rings and mushrooms too!

Ingredients

• 1 (11-ounce) can creamed corn
• 1 (11-ounce) 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 for deep frying

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together the creamed corn and 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.

Heat one inch of oil to 350°F in a large deep skillet, or fill a deep-fryer with oil as directed by the manufacturer.

Mix together the cornmeal, flour, egg white, milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Dip frozen corn nuggets in the batter, and quickly fry in hot oil until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain.
