How to make chips from corn meal.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water (Next time I do this, I will add a bit more water, it seemed a little dry.)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (I am using a clove of garlic I minced and crushed, will let you know how it goes!)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup yellow corn meal
Other things
- Baking sheet
- Glass
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wax paper
- Cooling rack
- Mixing bowl
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet. (I used some veggie oil and spread an even layer around.)
- Bring water, butter, seasonings to a boil.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Add the corn meal and stir well. (It will be a little dry and hard to make into balls, I suggest a little more water)
- Divide dough into 30 portions. (I didn’t get anywhere close to 30, maybe mine are just big :/)
- Roll out each portion about 3/4-inch diameter and place balls onto baking sheet.
- Top with a piece of wax paper and flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass. The balls of dough should be about 2 1/2-inches in diameter.
- Remove wax paper and bake until light brown, about 15 minutes.
- Cool on wire baking rack and store in an airtight container.
- Makes about 30 chips.
I forgot to take pics when I started, and I will only have a pic of what it looks like coming out of the oven :/. If I have enough corn meal, I will make another batch tonight and will take and post pictures to go along with the guide dealy.
