- Diet: General
Description
Honey-Glazed Golden Crunch Corn Nuggets are crisp, golden bites bursting with sweet corn flavor and a hint of honey. This easy homemade recipe makes a delightful, family-friendly side dish perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces drained canned or thawed frozen corn
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (for batter)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup honey (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter (for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare Corn: If using canned, drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. If frozen, thaw completely and pat dry.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined and smooth.
- Form Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon until just combined (a few lumps are fine). Fold in the corn kernels. Be careful not to overmix. If the batter looks too thin, add 1-2 tablespoons more flour.
- Heat Oil: Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil (or your preferred frying oil) in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350(degree)F (175(degree)C). Use a thermometer for accuracy; a steady sizzle indicates it’s ready.
- Fry Nuggets: Drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1.5 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Look for a beautiful golden hue and listen for the satisfying sizzle.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried corn nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. They’ll feel light and crispy to the touch.
- Make Glaze: In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey and a tablespoon of melted butter over low heat until just combined and fluid. This makes it easy to coat.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the warm honey glaze over the hot corn nuggets. Toss gently to coat them evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey-Glazed Golden Crunch Corn Nuggets!
Notes
For best results, use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature during frying. If using fresh corn, blanch it briefly, then cut kernels off the cob. Do not overmix the batter.
