Corn Nuggets Recipe
If you’re hosting a party or just looking for a tasty snack, The corn nuggets recipe is a great option.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour 2 cups
- Heavy cream ¼ cup
- Milk ¾ cup
- Butter (melted) 2 tablespoons
- Granulated sugar 1 tablespoon
- Baking powder 2 ½ teaspoons
- Salt 1 teaspoon
- Corn (rinsed and drained) 2 cans
- Medium eggs (beaten) 2
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine the baking powder, flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl, then whisk them together until the mixture is well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, shortening, and egg until thoroughly combined. Pour this mixture into the bowl containing the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients together.
- Gently fold the corn kernels into the batter, making sure not to overmix. Before cooking, refrigerate the batter for one hour.
- Fill a deep fryer or large pot with enough frying oil to reach a depth of at least 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F on a candy thermometer.
- In the hot oil, drop the corn batter using a scoop or spoon. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the corn nuggets from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy ketchup or ranch dressing.
