Ingredients
oil for deep frying
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup minced onion
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
Mix canned corn, pineapple, cornmeal, flour, Cheddar cheese, onion, sugar, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
Drop as many teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil that the pan will allow; cook until golden brown or until they float to the top, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with any remaining batter.
Cook's Notes:
For thicker batter, use a little more cornmeal until the batter has the consistency of drop biscuits.
You can use your choice of shredded cheese.
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
