MAN when u finally realize George Michael had such a good inner clock because of the ticking of the cornballer he had in his crib as a baby.

So I was at Aldi the other day and saw this posted on the front door. It seemed very appropriate with the new season of #arresteddevelopment that dropped on #netflix this week. #cornballer

BLUTH FAMILY CORNBALLS

Note: We’re going to learn how to use flaxseed as an egg replacer! I know the kids are excited! Also, using flax makes these pretty much health food.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2C all-purpose or whole-wheat flour

1/2C cornmeal

1t salt (fried things must be salty)

1t baking powder

1/2C frozen corn kernels

4T olive oil

1/4C unsweetened plain almond milk

1T flax for one flax egg (see below)

lots of oil for frying

DIRECTIONS:

1.  First, we’re going to make flax eggs. It sounds gross, I know, but flaxseed makes an excellent, easy, and healthy egg replacer for all manner of vegan recipes. For one flax egg, you take about 1 tablespoon of ground flax (you can buy flax meal or grind your seeds with a coffee grinder) and mix with 3 tablespoons of warm water. Whisk it together until it becomes gooey. If you have a small blendery thing like a Magic Bullet, use that to mix it; it’ll goopify faster.

2.  Mix your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Dry ingredients. Plus corn!

3.  Mix your oil, milk, and flax egg together and add it to the dry ingredients. Add the corn and mix everything together well.

4.  Heat a large stockpot over high heat filled about 1/4inch high with oil. (Try regular olive oil (not extra virgin), or sunflower or safflower.) Roll your batter into balls and drop into the oil. Cover the pot with your lid, and cook for about 6-8 minutes on medium-high heat.

Cooking ‘em on the left side.

5.  **Turn heat down to low while you flip the balls onto their other sides. Important! Otherwise the hot oil will bubble up and hurt you. Also, wear oven mitts on both hands. And long-sleeves. And goggles!!! Once flipped, cover the pot, turn the heat back up to medium-high, and cook for another 6-8 minutes.

Cooking ‘em on the right side.

6.  Check the balls every so often while cooking to ensure that they don’t burn.

7.  If you have a deep-fryer, you should use it! I’m not allowed to own one because of the aforementioned tendency to burn myself (not as funny as blueing oneself).

8.  Let the balls cool before eating!

Voila! I hope you enjoy these, and I hope you didn’t hurt yourself. I shared these at a dinner, and my dad announced that they were “f-ing awesome.” I’ve never really fried stuff before. It was fun, and delicious. “I’ve opened a door here that I regret.”

See you next time! Annyong!
