1 Bag of Glier’s Goetta Bites (thawed)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
Vegetable oil, for frying
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Start by soaking the skewers in water, this will keep them from burning in the oil. Make sure the Goetta Bites are fully thawed. Lightly coat the bites in corn starch, use your hand to remove any of the excess corn starch. Next, place the bites on the sticks and set aside. Start heating your oil to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, and buttermilk. Add more buttermilk if the mixture is too thick. Once the oil is hot drop a small amount of batter into the oil to make sure it is not too hot or too cold. Batter the bites and drop batches into the oil, 5-6 at a time. If you overload the oil the temperature will drop too much. Fry the bites for 2-3 minutes, flipping/stirring regularly to ensure the batter is browning on all sides. Once golden brown, remove the bites from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined tray. The only thing left to do is serve and enjoy!
