~ Deep Fried Corn-on-the-Cob ~

Yep, On-A-Stick!

Ingredients:
peanut oil
4 fresh or fully thawed ears of corn (cut in half)

*** For the Batter ***
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs (well beaten)
1/2 cup cornmeal (or more if needed to make batter thick enough)

*** For the Coating ***
1/2 cup Self-Rising flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:  In a deep-fat fryer pre-heat the oil to 375 degrees. Make a batter using the cornmeal, buttermilk and eggs. Then set aside. Now combine the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well then set aside. Dip the ears of corn in the cornmeal batter to coat. Then roll in the flour mixture. With cooking tongs, (holding at a safe distance) slowly place an ear of corn in the hot oil 1 ear at a time. Fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Insert stick before serving. Season as desired. ~ Chef ~
