• 3 cups cornmeal
• salt and pepper (other seasonings you want)
• oil

Directions

1. 1

   Put oil in a skillet until it is halfway up or you can use a deep fryer, a deep fryer is actually best for these. Heat until hot or if using skillet use medium high heat.

   In a large bowl beat egg with a fork, add buttermilk to it. Beat again to incorporate.

3. 3

   In another big bowl put cornmeal and seasonings to taste.

4. 4

   Rinse nuggets and dip into milk mixture, depending on how many you have you could probably fit them all in at one time.

5. 5

   Take a few out of the milk and dip in to the cornmeal, roll around to get it coated good, then put into oil.

6. 6

   If using skillet put them in until skillet is full. fry 3 minutes, turn and fry another 2-3 minutes. If using a deep fryer fry 5 minutes, about halfway through stir them around to break up any that might have clumped together. They are done when golden brown and flake easily with a fork.
