Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (15.25 ounces) sweet corn, drained (about 1 ½ cups kernels)
  • 2 medium jalapeños, seeded, finely diced
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the corn and jalapeños.
  5. To a heavy pot over medium heat, add vegetable oil. Heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).*
  6. Working in batches, drop 4-5 spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until the nuggets are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. (Check the oil temperature after each batch to make sure it is at 350°F.)
  7. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • *Oven Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Follow the instructions up to frying the nuggets in oil. Instead, place the cheesy jalapeno corn nuggets onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
