Yummy Sunday – Sweet Corn Nuggets

At a birthday party a while ago the kids were introduced to something that began to immediately harden their arteries and and boost their cholesterol sixty percent.

Sweet Corn Nuggets

Sweet Corn Nuggets.

It’s corn, and it’s fried. I’m not sure how I’ve lived in the south for multiple decades without ever coming across these before, but my kids aren’t going to let me forget them now that they’ve found them.

Sweet Corn Nuggets
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 cups drained whole kernel corn

Beat eggs, and stir in remaining ingredients. Drop from a spoon into deep fat and fry until brown.

Some recipes call for half creamed corn and half whole kernel. Some call for half flour half corn meal. I don’t think you can really mess this up, but I like the recipe above best.
