Kokoro Corn sticks

Ingredients

2.5 cups Corn Grits/ Corn meal (you can make yours by grinding dried corn kernels to a fine powder)

1/4 cup Sugar

1 tbsp Cayenne pepper

1 tsp Salt

2 cups Water

Vegetable oil for frying

Procedure

In a pot bring water to boil.

Turn the heat down and add the corn grit slowly – don’t add all at once- stirring it makes a slurry.

As the slurry bubbles add the rest of the corn grit to make a firm dough.

Remove from heat, and place the dough in an oiled bowl.

Cover or wrap and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow it cool.

After it has cooled, grease your palms with some oil, and roll small portions into balls, then on a smooth surface use your palms to roll it out into sticks.

Dust a surface with corn flour

Place the rolled sticks on the floured surface.

Heat oil up, fry the corn sticks on low medium heat, this will let it cook through without burning fast.
