Corn Chips From Scratch Recipes

HOMEMADE CORN CHIPS RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making this corn chips recipe, first mix your cornmeal and flour together.
• Add the oil and mix well.
• Add enough water to make a paste, but keep it on the drier side and mix well.
• When the paste forms a dough, sprinkle some cornmeal on a cutting board and roll out the dough. Sprinkle the dough every so often to keep it from sticking. Roll out as thin as you like. I like mine a bit thicker so they will hold on to dips without breaking.
• Cut to the size you want and place it on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for about 10-15 minutes at 375°F. Keep an eye on them as thinner chips can get done and burn much faster than thicker ones.

• Cut into regular or irregular shapes. Your choice. Leave on open on the counter.
• Heat a deep pot or pan filled 1/3 with frying oil. Heat until 170C and turn the heat down completely. If you have a small fryer then use that instead. Keep monitoring the temperature as you don't want the oil above 180C.
• Fry in batches. They are ready when they just start to stop bubbling. remove with a slotted spoon or kitchen tongs and drain on a kitchen paper-lined tray. Sprinkle with your seasoning of choice. I used chipotle powder mixed with salt.

HOMEMADE CANDY POP TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Unroll one pie crust and place on a floured surface.
• Use your cookie cutter to cut 12 candy corn shapes from the pie crust dough. This can easily be freehanded with a sharp knife or pizza cutter as well..
• Place six of the pie crust cutouts on a cookie sheet or baking stone.
• Spoon a small amount of jelly into the center of the pie crust as shown. Be sure to keep the filling away from the pastry edges so your pop tarts don't leak in the oven.
• Place your remaining pie crust candy corn pieces on top of the jelly.
• Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges of each pop tart.
• Prick the top of your tarts with the fork tines. You need to do this so that the steam can escape and you don't end up with big puffy pastries.
• Bake your pop tarts in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until slightly brown.
• Allow your pastries to cool completely.
• Fill a piping bag or sandwich bag with vanilla frosting.
• Cut a small hole in one end of the bag and use it to pipe the white portion of your candy corn.
• Once all pop tarts have been decorated with the white icing, place a small dab of yellow food coloring in your piping bag.
• While covering the hole you cut, work the icing and food coloring together until you have the desired yellow color.
• Pipe the yellow portion of your candy corn.
• Once all pop tarts have been decorated with the yellow icing, place a small dab of red food coloring in your piping bag.
• While covering the hole you cut, work the icing and food coloring together until you have the desired orange color.
• Pipe the orange portion of your candy corn.

• Bake in the preheated oven, with the door slightly ajar, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes before serving.

HOMEMADE FRITOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut 2 pieces of parchment the same size as a baking sheet and set aside. Bring about 3/4 cup water to a boil.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cornmeal and salt. Add 1/3 cup boiling water and mix with a fork until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon oil and mix again. The batter should be thick and slightly runny; if necessary, add more boiling water 1 teaspoon at a time for the desired consistency.
• Place one sheet of parchment on a work surface, and scrape the batter into the center. Top with the second sheet of parchment and gently roll out the batter to about .33-inch thick. Transfer the parchment and rolled batter to the baking sheet. Remove the top sheet of parchment and score the batter into small rectangles. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool and break apart. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired, and serve. Or, fry the chips as described below.
• Set aside a plate lined with a paper towel. Fill a small skillet with about 1.5 inches vegetable oil. Place over medium heat and allow to heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Test with a small piece of a chip; it should sink to the bottom of the pan, sizzle, float to the top and turn pale golden brown in about 30 seconds. Fry half the chips, using a metal strainer to transfer to the paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining chips. Sprinkle with salt, if desired, and serve.
