Corn Fritters - Corn Nuggets

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a medium glass bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Add the melted shortening, cream-style corn and whole kernel corn to the mixture. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar (if using).
3. Add the corn mixture to the dry ingredients until just blended. Do not over mix.
4. In a Fry-Daddy or frying pan, heat oil to 350 degrees. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls into hot oil.
5. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, and turn over once. Drain on paper towels.
6. Second Method to Prepare - Here is a way to make it where you have a good corn center:
7. Pre-freeze the corn mixture and then coat with the batter.
8. In a medium bowl, stir together the creamed corn and the drained whole kernel corn. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop teaspoonfuls of the corn mixture onto the sheet, and freeze until firm, about 2 to 3 hours. Or use an ice-tray and freeze corn mixture for better shaping.
9. When the freezer time is complete, heat oil in a large deep skillet or use a Fry Daddy to 350 degrees. While the oil is heating, mix together the flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, salt and sugar (if using) in a medium bowl. Dip the frozen corn nuggets into the batter. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, and place on paper towels to drain.
