Jalapeño Corn Nuggets

1.

In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, chopped jalapeños, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

2.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.

3.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4.

Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

5.

Remove nuggets from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter until all nuggets are cooked.

6.

Serve nuggets warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
