Ingredients

• oil for deep frying
• 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn, drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 cups cornmeal
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup minced onion
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2. Mix canned corn, pineapple, cornmeal, flour, Cheddar cheese, onion, sugar, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Drop as many teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot oil that the pan will allow; cook until golden brown or until they float to the top, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with any remaining batter.
