Ingredients:
- 4 ears of fresh corn
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 cups of buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
- Shuck the corn and cut them in half crosswise.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and cayenne pepper together until well combined.
- In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F. You can also use a frying pan or a wok if you do not have a deep fryer.
- Dip each piece of corn in the buttermilk and then coat it generously with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
- Carefully place the corn in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot, and make sure to turn the corn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the fried corn from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent the corn from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces, such as ranch, barbecue, or honey mustard.
- For a healthier alternative, you can try baking the corn in the oven instead of frying it.
