Homemade Corn Chips (frito style)
Рет қаралды 44,987
5 жыл бұрынIn this video I demonstrate how I make corn chips. These are similar to the popular brand name corn chip “Fritos”. They are very simple to make with just a few ingredients. They make a good side dish for sandwiches or a topping for a bowl of chili, or just for snacking on during a televised sporting event or a good movie.
-----
Just 3 simple ingredients:
Corn meal : 1 cup
table salt : 1 teaspoon (or to preference)
Really hot water not boiling: (about approximately a couple of ounces almost, kind of, sort of, nearly just enough)
You’ll also need oil for frying them, Since they are corn chips why not use corn oil? However any oil will work, peanut, canola, soy whatever!
Disclaimer: Because you make these yourself, you have the option to fry these to whatever ever level of crispness that you want. It may take a little practice and patience to get them to close to the commercial brand name chip level of crispness . You can fry them soft like corn bread or as hard as a piece ceramic. I am not responsible for damaged dental work if you over cook them.

Since I don't have a jerky gun, I will probably roll the batter out on parchment paper (maybe between two sheets, or wax paper) and then slice them into rectangles. It should work just as well. Thank you, awesome video!

The Grumpy Ol' Gringo Sr. They are extremely easy the trick is the hot water. If the water is cold the cornmeal doesn’t form the right consistency of pastiness. And you need a way to squirt them into the hot grease. A cake decorating nozzle thing would likely work if you don’t have a jerky gun.

Always Bolt the Bird Well maybe if you squeeze them into the air basket, then chill the basket with the uncooked chips in the fridge for a while then cook them in the air fryer on high. I don’t know maybe that will work. When I tried it, the corn meal past sort of seeped though the holes in the bottom of the basket and molded them selves to it. Also, they weren’t as crispy. And they fell apart when I tried to release them because they were stuck to and through the basket. I also think that I should have preheated the basket. Then maybe when I squirt them in to the basket the bottom side of the chip will immediately start to sear and not ooze through the basket holes. I’m not saying you shouldn’t give them a try in the air fryer, I’m just letting you know I wasn’t real successful with it. They were not as crispy, they were crumbled in to small bits because they were stuck to the basket, yet they still tasted good, just not the same real crispy texture. The air fryer isn’t all to blame for my bad results with the corn chips in it. Operator error is also a contributing factor.

What if we tried some thing difference . like pencil style corn chips, or even my pillow style! They don't have to be flat and hard to eat. like Fritos I do like the potato chip crunch better, and is more pleasant to eat ! The way i made my pillow style is lay saran wrap out spread the past out, sprinkle some dry masa out on the past b4 you roll them out. about 2/8" thick cut them with a pizza roller the size you want. lift them off the saran wrap with a knife while you unpeel the saran wrap under them. You want little brown pillows They will puff up in the hot oil YUM
