Deep Fried Corn Food

DEEP FRIED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Start oil heating in a fryer to 190 C / 375 F. You'll want a depth of about 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) minimum.
• Husk the cobs of corn. Wash, pat dry, cut in half, and set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs, then beat a bit with a whisk or fork. Then mix in the buttermilk, then whisk in the cornmeal. If the batter looks thin to you, stir in another few tablespoons of cornmeal. Set aside.
• In another bowl, mix together the (white) flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Spread out on a plate.
• Let oil hit 190 C / 375 F.
• Using sturdy kitchen tongs, coat a piece of corn in the buttermilk batter, shake off excess batter, then roll in the flour mixture on the plate.
• You can prepare all at once if you wish before frying.
• Lower a piece of corn at a time into the hot oil. If using an average-sized home fryer, have no more than 3 or 4 pieces in at one time.
• Fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drain on brown paper or paper towel, and serve at once piping hot.

DEEP FRIED CORN MEAL STICKS (SORULLITOS DE MAIZ) WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in sugar, butter, and salt until sugar has dissolved. Turn heat to low and whisk in 1 cup of cornmeal until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal to make a very thick, workable dough.
• Heat 3 cups vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease your hands well with 2 teaspoons of oil and scoop about 3 tablespoons of cornmeal dough; roll the dough into a ball, then shape into a 3-inch long stick about 1/2 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough, oiling your hands as needed. Deep-fry the cornmeal sticks until golden brown, working in batches of 3 or 4 at a time. Drain fried cornmeal sticks on paper towels and keep warm.
• Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic salt in a bowl until well combined; serve cornmeal sticks with the sauce for dipping.

Add sugar or honey and cook for 2 minutes more. Increase heat to high and add heavy cream-continue to stir so corn won't stick to pan. Add salt and pepper. Cook corn until most all of the cream has absorbed about 5 minutes more. Remove add serve hot.

FRIED CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Place the cold fatback into a saute pan and begin to heat over medium-low heat. Allow the fat to melt and render as slowly as possible to insure that the pieces are completely rendered but remain very light golden brown. Add the butter to the pan, then the onions and allow the onions to sweat until very soft. Mix together the corn with the heavy cream and sugar, and add to the pan of fat and onions. Increase the heat to high and stir vigorously to emulsify the mixture. Once the mixture has reached a boil, turn off the heat and continue to stir for 30 seconds. Season with salt, black pepper and lemon juice. Serve immediately.
