Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Corn:

Boil the mini corn cobs in salted water for 5-7 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and pat dry.

2️⃣ Make the Coating:

In one bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.

3️⃣ Coat the Corn:

Dip each mini cob into the buttermilk, then coat it evenly in the flour mixture. Repeat for an extra crispy layer.

4️⃣ Fry the Corn:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the coated corn cobs in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5️⃣ Garnish and Serve:

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges for a zesty kick.

Enjoy these crispy, golden mini corn delights fresh and hot!
