Creamy Fried Corn Nuggets

 

I loved when my Mom made Hush Puppies or Corn Fritters.  When I was little I remember giggling when she would say the names.  I still use her same old southern recipe...crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside.  Usually when you order corn nuggets or Fritters out, you get a dry dough-like inside.  Her secret was using creamed corn.

Creamy Fried Corn Nuggets

1 cup of self-rising flour

1/2 teaspoon of sugar

Pinch of salt

Pinch of pepper

1 tablespoon of butter, melted

1 egg, beaten

1/2 (15 ounce) can of creamed corn

Peanut oil for frying 

Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and pepper.  Stir in butter, egg, and corn. Set batter aside for 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet until very hot.  Drop batter by spoonfuls into a hot oil and fry until lightly browned, turning with a spoon as needed to brown on all sides.  Drain on paper towels.

Serve immediately as a side dish or an appetizer or even a main meal.
