      Title: Ho-made Corn Nuts
 Categories: Grains, Snacks, Chilies
      Yield: 8 Ounces
 
      1 c  Dried white corn kernels
           Salt
           Dried paprika; ground
           Cayenne pepper; ground
           Ground black pepper (opt)
           Vegetable oil
 
  Equipment: Medium saucepan, Cooking thermometer
  
  Contrary to their name, corn nuts are not nuts at all. They
  are a popular American snack food made by deep frying corn
  kernels until they reach a hard, brittle consistency, and
  then seasoning them with various spices. Corn nuts can be
  served as a snack or used in various recipes.
  
  Fill a medium-size saucepan with vegetable oil, until it's
  around 1" deep. Turn the heat to high, and bring the oil
  to 300ºF/150º, using a cooking thermometer to check the
  temperature.
  
  Reduce the heat to medium, and add the corn kernels to the
  hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the kernels are
  golden brown. If your pan isn't large enough for all the
  kernels, fry them in batches, 2 to 3 minutes each.
  
  Line a medium-size bowl with paper towels, and transfer the
  fried corn nuts to the bowl. Allow them to sit for 2 to 3
  minutes, or until most of the oil has drained off.
  
  Discard the paper towels, and sprinkle the corn nuts with
  salt, dried paprika and cayenne pepper to taste. Omit the
  cayenne and replace with ground black pepper, if you prefer
  less spicy corn nuts.
  
  Serve the seasoned corn nuts immediately for optimal taste,
  or store in an airtight container. They will keep up to 1
  week, if covered and stored. Do not refrigerate if you don't
  want cold corn nuts, as there is no good way to reheat.
  
  This recipe yields approximately 8 oz. of corn nuts.
