Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2 cups whole kernel corn
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, seasoning, milk, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  • Fold in the shredded cheese and corn.
  • Pour enough oil into a cast iron skillet to come about halfway up the sides, then heat over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet.
  • Fry for about 2 minutes per side, or until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
  • Transfer the cooked nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
