Corn Puppies 1/26/23

15.25 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained 2 green onions, chopped (whites and greens) 1 1/2 C. self rising cornmeal 2 large eggs, beaten 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 3/4 C. shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 C. milk vegetable oil for frying

In a bowl combine the corn, onion and cornmeal. Stir in the eggs, seasonings and cheeses. Stir in the milk and combine well. Heat 1" of oil in a cast iron skillet to 325 degrees (I use a candy thermometer to monitor my heat and reduce the temp. if necessary). Once the oil is hot, carefully drop by spoonfuls into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a paper sack or paper towel lined plated. Repeat with remaining batter. You can place the cooked puppies in a 275 degree oven to stay warm as you cook the other batches.
