Creating Crispy Corn Nuggets is simple! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
2. Add Corn: Stir in the sweet corn until evenly distributed through the dry mixture.
3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll need about 1-2 inches of oil for frying.
6. Scoop the Nuggets: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of the mixture into the hot oil.
7. Fry Until Golden: Allow the nuggets to cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil returns to temperature before frying the next batch.

These steps will ensure perfectly crispy nuggets every time!
