For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the batter. Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even cooking. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or a spicy aioli.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the creamed corn and drained whole kernel corn. (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and lightly coating it with vegetable oil or cooking spray. This will prevent the nuggets from sticking. (2 minutes)
03
StepCarefully drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the nuggets are evenly spaced to prevent them from freezing together. (10 minutes)
04
StepPlace the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze until the corn nuggets are firm enough to handle. This typically takes about 3 hours. (180 minutes)
05
StepIn a large, deep skillet, heat one inch of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Alternatively, fill a deep-fryer with oil according to the manufacturer's instructions. (10 minutes)
06
StepWhile the oil is heating, prepare the batter. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, egg white, and milk until smooth. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. (5 minutes)
07
StepOnce the corn nuggets are frozen solid, carefully dip each nugget into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. (10 minutes)
08
StepGently place the battered nuggets into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet or deep-fryer. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. (6 minutes)
09
StepRemove the fried corn nuggets from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. (2 minutes)
10
StepServe immediately and enjoy these delightful, crispy corn nuggets while they are still warm! (2 minutes)
