I usually make them when we have company as a nice change-of-pace side dish. They're great with ham, steak or roast beef. My husband and I have two young children, 3 and not quite 1. I grew up on a dairy farm. Today, we live on a small farm where I tend to chickens.

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup butter
3 1/2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing cubes
3 cups cooked whole kernel corn
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Shape into eight to ten balls.

  • Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 25-35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to drain the corn well before adding it to the batter. This will help to prevent the balls from becoming too wet and mushy.
  • Use a food processor or blender to grind the corn kernels into a fine meal. This will help to ensure that the balls are smooth and evenly textured.
  • Season the batter with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add grated cheese, chopped vegetables, or herbs for extra flavor.
  • Heat the oil to a medium-high temperature before frying the balls. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Fry the balls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to drain them on paper towels before serving.
